In the original publication, several references were given incorrectly, or missing in the reference list. The correct references are listed below.


Under the sub-heading “Genome Editing”, the definition of genome editing in the first sentence is linked to the wrong reference. The correct reference should be:


Zhang H, Zhang J, Lang Z et al. (2017) Genome editing—principles and applications for functional genomics research and crop improvement. Crit Rev Plant Sci 36:291–309. https://doi.org/10.1080/07352689.2017.1402989


All other corrections refer to Table 1:


Joseph et al. (2017) should be replaced with Jarvis et al. (2017). The full reference is:

Yang et al. (2014) should be cited as Yang et al. (2015) and should be referenced as:

Yang et al. (2015) should be replaced with Kang et al. (2014). The full reference is:


Kang YJ, Kim SK, Kim MY, Lestari P et al. (2014) Genome sequence of mungbean and insights into evolution within Vigna species. Nat Comm 5(1):1–9.


Pati et al. (2019) should be replaced with Paritosh et al. (2019). The full reference is:


Paritosh K, Yadava SK, Singh P, Bhayana L et al. (2021) A chromosome-scale assembly of allotetraploid Brassica juncea (AABB) elucidates comparative architecture of the A and B genomes. Plant Biotechnol J 19:602–614. https://doi.org/10.1111/pbi.13492.


The authors wrongfully cited Mayes et al. (2020) in Table 1. This citation should be deleted.


The following references were omitted in the reference list despite appearing in Table 1:
