In the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 7F as published. The red light source used was subsequently found to emit a small amount of far-red. The experiments were repeated with a light setup that eliminated all far-red spectra. Under these conditions, abcb21 mutants were still not different from Col-0. A correction has been made to Figure 7, its legend and the Results section.

Figure 7

The Results section, subsection ABCB21 Expression Is Rapidly Induced During Wounding:

“As reported previously (Kamimoto et al., 2012), proABCB21:GUS expression in late stage mature tissues is restricted to the abscission zones of flowers, as well as rosette and cauline leaves (Figures 7A–E). Auxin regulation of leaf positioning (Peeters et al., 2009; de Carbonnel et al., 2010) and floral organ shedding/abscission (Tang et al., 2013) suggests a possible role for ABCB21 in regulation of localized auxin accumulations in these tissues. However, no differences in light-mediated leaf positioning were observed in abcb21 mutants when responses under continuous 50 μmol m−2 s−1 red plus far red light, 50 μmol m−2 s−1 red light, or 50 μmol m−2 s−1 white light were examined (Figure 7F), and measurements of petal break-strength was not different between Col-0 and abcb21-2 (Figure 7G). It is unclear whether ABCB21 expression at these junction sites is responsive or causal. However, wounding increases ABCB21 expression ~1.7X between 30 and 60 min before returning to pre-wound levels or below (Kilian et al., 2007). Rapid induction of proABCB21:GUS expression is observed in stem tissues after wounding (Figure 8A). No GUS staining was observed in Col-0 indicating staining was not due to non-specific enzymatic activity. However, similar discrete DR5:GUS signals are initially observed in both Col-0 and abcb21-2 suggesting initial auxin accumulations are not affected (Figure 8B). A downstream role in wound-induced vascularization is possible, but does not appear to involve monolignol transport, as is observed with ABCG29 (Alejandro et al., 2012). No differences in seedling root growth on p-coumaryl alcohol were observed in abcb21 under conditions where abcg29 root growth is more inhibited than Col-0 (Supplementary Table 1), and no differences in lignin content or speciation were detected in seedling roots (Supplementary Table 2). A more localized impact on auxin-dependent vascularization is possible, but could not be reproducibly verified.”

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
