Abstract
© 2019 American Association for the Advancement of Science. All rights reserved. In the Research Article “Synthetic glycolate metabolism pathways stimulate crop growth and productivity in the Field,” Fig. 6 and figs. S9 and S13 and affected text have been revised to correct for an error in the statistical model that incorrectly treated individual plants rather than individual blocks of plants as replicates. In the reanalysis, the 10% increase in average seasonal biomass of plants transformed with the alternative photorespiratory pathway 3 was not statistically significant. In plants in which glycolate flux was forced through alternative pathway 3 by down-regulating transport into the native photorespiratory pathway, the average 24% increase in seasonal biomass relative to wild type was statistically signiflcant (P = 0.028) sustaining the original main conclusion of this field experiment. The authors thank Ed Buckler for bringing this error to their attention.
