In the published article, an error was identified in the Methods section regarding the species name of Agrobacterium used for wheat transformation. The organism was incorrectly listed as Arabidopsis tumefaciens.
A correction has been made to section 2 Materials and methods, 2.2 Agrobacterium-mediated wheat transformation, Paragraph Number 1. The correct statement is as follows: “The transformation was performed using the hypervirulent Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain AGL1 carrying the pSoup helper plasmid and the JD633 plasmid containing the cloned gRNA seed sequences.”
The original article has been updated.
