Corrigendum

New Phytologist 193 (2012), 339–348.

Since its publication, it has been brought to our attention that an error in one of the authors’ spreadsheets affects calculations made in their article. This quantitative error changes parts of Figs 2 and 6, and the Supporting Information Methods S1 and Figs S7 and S8; however, the overall conclusions and statements within the article are unaffected.

Figure 2. (a) Schematic representation of the classes used for cell length calculations in the petiole epidermis. Cells are classified depending on their distance from the base of the petiole. Each class consists of 200 μm. (b, c) Epidermal cell length of a 1-cm Arabidopsis thaliana petiole. Data points represent the means ± SE of cell lengths of the first 6.6 mm at the adaxial (b) and abaxial (c) sides of a petiole after 10 h of ethylene (gray circles) and control (black circles) treatment. Asterisks indicate significant differences relative to the cell lengths of control-treated petioles (P < 0.05), n = 17.

Figure 6. Geometrical model predicting petiole curvature after ethylene treatment (ethylene predicted, open circles), which is consistent with the observed differential growth values (ethylene observed, closed triangles) on 6 h of ethylene exposure. Air, closed circles.

The correct Figs 2 and 6 are published below and the correct Supporting Information file is available online with this Corrigendum.

We apologize to our readers for these mistakes.
