Following publication of the original article [1], it was reported that there was an error in Fig. 8C, which was a duplicate of Fig. 7D.

C qRT-PCR transcript analysis of 6 selected CaBBX genes under SA treatment. Three independent biological experiments were performed (P < 0.05)

Furthermore, the description of Fig. 8C in the section “Expression analysis of CaBBX genes in response to exogenous hormones” was incorrect.

  • The incorrect description was: “CaBBX13 was also up-regulated under early treatment stage, but down-regulated under later treatment stage (Fig. 8C).”

  • The correct description is: “Except for CaBBX3 and CaBBX5, all the other four selected CaBBX genes were induced to expressed at a higher level by exogenous SA at different treatment stages (Fig. 8C).”

In the section “Expression analysis of BBX genes under abiotic stress in pepper” the text describing Fig. 7D was also inaccurate:

  • The incorrect description was: “Additionally, CaBBX13 showed an up-regulation at 3 and 6 h, but rapidly decreased with a more lower expression level than control at 12 h treatment (Fig. 7D).”

  • The correct description is: ““Additionally, CaBBX13 showed an up-regulation at 6 h, but rapidly decreased with a more lower expression level than control at 12 h treatment (Fig. 7D).”

The correct Fig. 8C is given in this Correction article and the original article has been updated.
