On page 1120, the unit associated with the external standard was mistyped. The solution of external standard was ‘10 ng/μl’, not ‘ng/ml’.

On page 1120 we should have reported that ‘The GC injections were 1 μl of sample or standard for these analyses’.

On page 1120 the standards used for Y tube tests are not adequately described. We should correct the current text as follows: ‘Dilutions were made by carrying out a serial dilution of 1 μl /ml solutions for each compound of interest (for 3-octanone, 1 μl /ml = 8.2 mg/ml; for 1-octene-3-ol, 1 μl /ml = 8.4 mg/ml). The solutions were diluted to concentrations as low as 8 × 10⁻¹⁸ ng/ml, which was the lower limit of detection of 3-octanone with our GC-MS method.’

On page 1122 the units were again mistyped. The correct concentration of 1-octen-3-ol was 0.052 ± 0.049 ng/μl in 10⁷ conidia, and 3-octanone was 0.044 ng/μl in 10⁷ conidia.
