Correction

After the publication of this work [1], we became aware of the fact that the gene name 'GmGER 9' was mistakenly used throughout the gene function analyses in the original manuscript due to an error between the gene identification number recorded in our notebook and the nearest matching GenBank accession. The gene name 'GmGER 9' should be changed to 'GmGER 15' in the following places:
