In the above-mentioned article, errors were inadvertently introduced into comments below Fig. 1e, 1f, and 1g. The corrected Fig. 1 is as follows:

Fig. 1

Flower phenotypes of the r1 mutants (a, b, c, h, i, j), chemical supplementation (d), and genetic complementation (e, f, g) experiments. The r1 mutants show white flowers with or without a colored flower tube. a–c Mutant flower phenotypes are classified into three types by tube pigmentation patterns: Type I, faint pigmentation on the border region of flower limb and tube (a); Type II, strongly pigmented tubes (b); Type III, no pigmentation (c) (see Table 1). d Supplementation of 1 mM naringenin to mutant flowers. From left to right, AK11 (Type I), Akatsuki-no-hikari (Type II), Akatsuki-no-yuki (Type III), Sagami-no-yuki (Type III), and Shiranami (Type III). e–g Phenotypes of F1 plants. The parental lines are indicated under the photos (female parent × male parent) (see Table 2). h Flower phenotype of a mutant QX722 (Type II) carrying additional mutations for flower and leaf morphology. i, j Somatic sectors on the flowers of AK11 (i) and Shirakumo (j) are indicated by arrows. These sectors appeared very rarely and were apparently due to somatic mutations caused by excisions of the transposons
