Correction to: Plant Cell Rep (2009) 28:1641–1653 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00299-009-0764-5

In Figure 3 of the original publication, the gel image for MA-actin (Rasthali) in figure part (a) was accidentally re-used in part (b) for cultivar Kanthali.

Fig. 3

Changes in β-1,3 glucanase mRNA abundance level during ripening in three different cultivars [Rasthali (R), Kanthali (K), and Monthan (M)] of banana ripened naturally at 25°C (upper panel; a, c, e). Transcript accumulation level of β-1,3 glucanase was analyzed by RT-PCR with gene-specific primers. ~ 5 μg total RNA was taken from each cultivar and from each stage for RT-PCR analysis and then equal amount of amplified product was used for analysis. Representative gel images from at least three independent experiments are shown in a–c. Transcript profile of MA-actin was used as internal control (lower panel; a–c). Protein gel blot analysis with total protein extracts prepared from the respective preclimacteric, climacteric, and postclimacteric stages of ripening from three different cultivars of banana and immunodetection of β-1,3 glucanase protein by using β-1,3 glucanase antibody (upper panel; d–f). Molecular weight of the immunoreactive band is indicated. Steady state protein level of Actin at the indicated conditions was measured by immunoblot as internal control (lower panel; d–f). RT-PCR analysis of the β-1,3 glucanase expression pattern during the various stages of ripening in three cultivars [Rasthali (C), Kanthali (K), and Monthan (M)] following ethylene treatment (upper panel; g, i, k). Steady state mRNA level of MA-actin at the indicated conditions was measured by RT-PCR as internal control (lower panel, g, I, k). Immunoblot analysis with total protein extracts prepared from different stages of ripening following ethylene treatment from three different cultivars of banana and immunodetection of β-1,3 glucanase protein by using β-1,3 glucanase antibody (upper panel, h, j, l). Steady state protein level of Actin at the indicated conditions was measured by immunoblot as internal control (lower panel, h, j, l)

The figure below shows the corrected Fig. 3 with the original gel for MA-actin (Kanthali).
