The WtmsDW locus on wheat chromosome 2B controls major natural variation for floret sterility responses to heat stress at booting stage.By Erena MF, Lohraseb I, Munoz-Santa I, Taylor JD, Emebiri LC, Collins NC (2021). Front. Plant Sci. 12:635397. doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2021.635397 In the published article, there was an error. The seed stock of the doubled-haploid (DH) line WW28450 was subsequently found to be a mixture of two DH lines. These comprised one line that was Drysdale-type non-recombinant for chromosome arm 2BS, and a recombinant line that was Waagan-type for the 2BS WtmsDW interval and Drysdale-type proximally. We wrongly interpreted the marker calls to indicate that WW28450 had a deletion of the WtmsDW interval when in fact there was no such deletion. The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the main scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
