The Author Contributions were erroneously reported in the original article. The statement that reads: “Q-YX generated and propagated the transgenic plants, conducted the gene sequencing and expression analyses, finalized figures, and manuscript revision. X-MG and Q-YX contributed equally to the projects” should have been provided as “XL generated and propagated the transgenic plants, conducted the gene sequencing and expression analyses, figure finalization, and manuscript revision. XG and XL contributed equally to the projects.” XL is a research specialist in Q-YX's lab.
This correction does not affect the scientific validity of the results.
