In the version of this article initially published, Figure 3a had three errors. The heights for bars '26' and '31' for US, Vitamin E, broccoli + tomato + potato were ˜7 and ˜25, respectively; the transgenic (green) value US, vitamin E, tomato was given as '24.5', but should be '40.3'. The errors have been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
