A Corrigendum on
Leaf surfaces and neolithization - the case of Arundo donax L

By Nunes SC, Gomes AP, Nunes P, Fernandes M, Maia A, Bacelar E, Rocha J, Cruz R, Boatto A, Ravishankar AP, Casal S, Anand S, Bermudez VdZ and Crespí AL (2022). Front. Plant Sci. 13:999252. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2022.999252

In the published article, there was an error in the Acknowledgments statement regarding CQ-VR. The section previously stated:

“This research was funded by National Funds from Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and FEDER through POCI-COMPETE 2020-Operational Programme Competitiveness and Internationalization in Axis I-Strengthening research, technological development and innovation (UID/QUI/00616/2013 and UID/QUI/00616/2019 to CQ-VR, UIDB/04033/2020 to CITAB, UIDB/00195/2020 to FibEnTech and UID/QUI/50006/2020 to LAQV/Requimte) and by the project PORPLANTSURF - Superhydrophobic films inspired by the surface of plant leaves and petals from Northern Portugal (POCI-01−0145-FEDER-029785), financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through COMPETE 2020-Operational Program for Competitiveness and Internationalization (POCI) and FCT. SN acknowledges FCT for Assistant Research contract (2020-00805.CEEIND) in scope of Scientific Employment Stimulus. The authors acknowledge to Patrick Joel Pais for the preparation of the fresh leaf for SEM analysis. PN acknowledges CQ-VR/FCT for a PhD grant (UI/BD/151084/2021). AR and SA acknowledge partial support from the Swedish Energy Agency (grant no. 49227-1). MF acknowledges FCT-UTAD for the contract in the scope of Decreto-Lei 57/2016−Lei 57/2017.”

The corrected statement appears below:
