A corrigendum on
Mitochondrial genome contributes to the thermal adaptation of the oomycete Phytophthora infestans

by Shen, L.-L., Waheed, A., Wang, Y.-P., Nkurikiyimfura, O., Wang, Z.-H., Yang, L.-N., and Zhan, J. (2022). Front. Microbiol. 13:928464. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.928464

In the published article, there was an error made during production in the manuscript text that should be written Table 4 instead of Table 3.

A correction has been made to [Results], [Geographic pattern of spatial distribution in mitochondrial haplotypes and associations of the distribution with climatic conditions], [Paragraph Number 5]. This sentence previously stated: “The annual mean temperature in the 15 collection sites was negatively correlated to the frequency of mitochondrial Type I (R2 = 0.4150, p = 0.0090, Figure 3A) but positively correlated to haplotype diversity (R2 = 0.3160, p = 0.0234, Figure 4A). Annual insolation duration in the collection sites was significantly and quadratically associated with haplotype diversity (R2 = 0.2140, p = 0.0458, Figure 4F) but only marginally associated with haplotype frequency (R2 = 0.2330, p = 0.0804, Figure 3F). On the other hand, altitude in the collection sites was significantly and linearly associated with haplotype frequency (R2 = 0.3440, p = 0.0210; Figure 3B) but only marginally associated with haplotype diversity (R2 = 0.1750, p = 0.1069, Figure 4B). Latitude was marginally associated with both haplotype frequency and diversity (Figures 3D, 4D). No associations were detected between other climatic conditions or geographic positions in the collection sites with the haplotype frequency and diversity. Multiple regression analysis also revealed that annual mean temperature and altitude in the collection sites contributed significantly to the spatial distribution of haplotype frequency and diversity (Table 3). On the other hand, annual insolation duration and latitude in the collection sites only significantly contributed to the spatial distribution of mitochondrial haplotype in terms of frequency but not diversity.”

The corrected sentence appears below:

Latitude was marginally associated with both haplotype frequency and diversity (Figures 3D, 4D). No associations were detected between other climatic conditions or geographic positions in the collection sites with haplotype (frequency and diversity). Multiple regression analysis also revealed that annual mean temperature and altitude in the collection sites contributed significantly to the spatial distribution of haplotype frequency and diversity (Table 4). On the other hand, annual insulation duration and latitude in the collection sites only significantly contributed to the spatial distribution of mitochondrial haplotype in term of frequency but not diversity.”

In the published article, there was an error made during production in the manuscript text that should be written Table 3 instead of Table 4.

A correction has been made to Discussion, Paragraph Number 4. This sentence previously stated: “Differentiation caused by genetic drift is expected to have no impact on fitness (Orr, 2009). In this study, we find a significant difference in intrinsic growth rate among the mitochondrial haplotypes (Table 4) and the difference can be successfully transferred to competitive ability as indicated by the positive association between haplotype frequency observed in nature and its intrinsic growth rate. Apparently, mitochondrial Type I is more successful than Type II in P. infestans. It is the dominant haplotype, possibly attributed to its higher fitness, and the result is similar to other reports. For example, Type I dominated in the surveys conducted in India (Sharma et al., 2016), Turkey (Gunacti et al., 2019), as well as other parts of China (Yang et al., 2013) and adapts to wider ecological niches (Sharma et al., 2016).”
