This Article contains typographical errors. In Table 1, the ‘Yield per plant (g)’ for PAT11 (NE) “23.09 ± 0.92” should read “23.09 ± 8.11”. In the Methods section under subheading ‘PCR analysis of transgenic rice’,

“PCR assay was performed in a mixture containing 50 ng rice genomic DNA or 1 ng plasmid DNA, 2 μL 10 × PCR buffer (Mg2+ plus), 0.4 μL 10 mM dNTP, 0.3 μL 10 μM RePAT-F (5′-GGATCCAGACTCACTCTGAG-3′), 0.3 μL 10 μM RePAT-R (5′-GCATGCGGTGGACACGCTGG-3′) and 1 U Taq DNA polymerase in a total volume of 20 μL, and under the conditions of 94 °C for 5 min, then 30 cycles of 94 °C for 30 s, 58 °C for 30 s, 72 °C for 30 s, and finally 72 °C for 8 min.”
