This Article contains errors in the reference citations.


In the Results section under subheading ‘Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and antifungal activity of DMDS against fungal phytopathogens’,


“Mycelial attachment on the surface of hosts is the primary event in disease progression30.”


should read:


“Mycelial attachment on the surface of hosts is the primary event in disease progression8.”


In the Discussion section,


“In our study, DMDS treatment increased the electrolyte leakage by about 49.2% compared to that in the untreated control which is consistent with the previous study where isoliquiritin affected the growth of Peronophythora litchi Chen by damaging the plasma membrane of the pathogen and increased the electrolyte leakage by 50%38.”

Also in the Discussion section,


“Disease development and progression in plants require physical attachment of a pathogen with its host30. Attachment of mycelium to the host is necessary for a fungus to invade the host plant properly and to colonize30.”


should read:

In the Methods section under subheading ‘Morphologically characterization’,


“Electrolyte leakage was determined as described by Sharifi & Ryu (2016)8.”


should read:


“Electrolyte leakage was determined as described by Luo et al (2016)37.”


In addition, this Article contains a typographical error in the Methods section subheading where,


“Morphologically characterization”


should read:


“Morphological characterization”
