Correction to: Biotechnology Letters 42:2425–2439 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1007/s10529-020-02968-0

In the published version of the article, few errors have been identified by the authors.

1. In Fig. 4, the electrophoresis picture of EsActin gene PCR product of Root-7d sample was incorrect.

2. Figure legend had two corrections. The corrected version of Fig. 4 and legend are given in this Correction.

3. On page 2429 under section ‘Results’ in the first paragraph of sub heading ‘EsPHT1;4 responsive to Pi deficiency’, the sentence “To confirm the spatio-temporal expression profile of EsPHT1;4 in E. salsuginea in response to Pi deficiency, 5-day-old seedlings were collected on different point times (0, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 168 h), and sqRT-PCR and qRT-PCR were carried out by using a housekeeping gene, EsActin, as a control.” should read as “To confirm the spatio-temporal expression profile of EsPHT1;4 in E. salsuginea in response to Pi deficiency, 5-day-old seedlings were collected on different point times (0, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 168 h), and sqRT-PCR and qRT-PCR were carried out by using a housekeeping gene, EsActin, as a control.”

The authors regret the oversight during figure assembly and would like to sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it might have caused. This unintentional error has no bearing on the article’s scientific conclusions.
