In the published article, there were a couple of errors in Figure 3A and Figure 7A as published. In Figure 3A, the representative images of NBT-stained leaflets (2nd row) after Cd (panel 2), Cd+M250 (panel 6) and Cd+M500 (panel 7) treatments were overwritten by redundant images, respectively. In Figure 7A, ‘Control’ was written in the X-axis legend mistakenly. The corrected Figure 3 and Figure 7 and their captions appear below.
Figure 3
Figure 3 Effects of melatonin on ROS accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and membrane integrity after 14 days long Cd stress. (A) The in situ detection of H2O2 (upper panel) and O2·− (lower panel) in tomato leaves. Bar = 1.0 cm, (B) H2O2 concentrations in tomato leaves and roots, (C) MDA concentrations in tomato leaves and roots, and (D) Electrolyte leakage from tomato leaves and roots. Accumulation of H2O2 and O2·− in leaves was visually detected by staining with 3, 3-diaminobenzidine (DAB) and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT), respectively. The data shown are the averages of four replicates, with the standard errors indicated by the vertical bars. The means denoted by the same letter within the same color histograms did not significantly differ at a P < 0.05, according to Tukey’s test. Cd, 100 μM cadmium; M25, 25 µM melatonin; M50, 50 µM melatonin; M100, 100 µM melatonin; M250, 250 µM melatonin; M500, 500 µM melatonin; FW, fresh weight.
Figure 7
Figure 7 The accumulation of cadmium in tomato plants and its subcellular distribution following 14 days long Cd stress as influenced by melatonin treatments. (A) Cd concentrations in tomato roots and leaves. (B) The in situ detection of Cd in tomato roots and leaves using a dithizone staining-based histochemical method (C) The distribution of Cd in different subcellular compartments. The data shown in (A), are the averages of four replicates, with the standard errors indicated by the vertical bars. The means denoted by the same letter did not significantly differ at a P < 0.05, according to Tukey’s test. Cd, 100 μM cadmium; M25, 25 µM melatonin; M50, 50 µM melatonin; M100, 100 µM melatonin; M250, 250 µM melatonin; M500, 500 µM melatonin; DW, dry weight.
The authors apologize for these errors and state that these do not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
