In the Materials and Methods, we stated—in error—that the acetosyrigone added to inoculation medium was 200 mM, when it was actually 200 µM. The error appears again in the Results and Discussion. Also in the Results and discussion is another error about acetosyringone concentration. We stated, “Zhao et al. (2004) reported that an A. tumefaciens density of 2 × 108 cfu ml−1 in MS liquid medium supplemented with 20 mM acetosyringone (pH 5.4) efficiently produced transgenic octoploid strawberry plants.” In reality Zhao et al. used 20 µM.

The authors apologize for the errors.
