In the January 1999 issue of New Phytologist, we published the research paper entitled ‘The effect of light on the growth and reproduction of Floerkea proserpinacoides’ by Margaret F. McKenna and Gilles Houle (New Phytol. (1999) 141, 99–108). Since its publication, the authors have identified two important errors in the text. First, values given for leaf area ratio (LAR) and specific leaf area (SLA) have been given erroneously in units of cm2 g−1; the correct units are cm2 mg−1. Second, the values for unit leaf rate (ULR) have been given incorrectly as tenfold lower than they should be; these should be multiplied by ten to give the correct values in mg m−2 d−1.

We apologise to our readers for these mistakes.

In the November 1998 issue of New Phytologist, we published the Tansley review ‘Gibberellins: regulating genes and germination’ by Sian Ritchie and Simon Gilroy (New Phytol. (1998) 140, 363–383). Since its publication, it has come to our attention that text associated with Fig. 4 was omitted during production. The correct figure is reprinted here in full.

We apologise to the author and to our readers for this mistake.

Figure 4. Promoter sequences of various genes expressed in the cereal aleurone and shown to be regulated by GA. The position of each sequence is indicated relative to the start codon. Regions identified as being involved in regulation of the genes are highlighted, as are similar regions in other genes. Sites at which protein has been shown to bind are also indicated. (a) Barley Amy 32b (Sutcliff et al., 1993; Whittier et al., 1987); wheat Amy 2/54 (Huttley et al., 1992; Rushton et al., 1992; Rushton et al., 1995); barley Amy 46 (Khursheed & Rogers, 1988); barley Amy 2/p155 (Knox et al., 1987); barley aleurain (Whittier et al., 1987); barley β-glucanase II (Wolf, 1992); wheat cathepsin B-like (Cejudo et al., 1992); rice ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (Chen et al., 1995). (b). Wheat Amy 1/18 (Rushton et al., 1992); barley Amy pHV 19 (Jacobsen & Close, 1991; Gubler & Jacobsen, 1992)/ Amy 1/6-4 (Khursheed & Rogers, 1988; Rogers, Lanahan & Rogers 1994); rice OSamy-a/Amy 3c (Ou-Lee et al., 1988; Sutcliff et al., 1991; Yu et al., 1992; Goldman et al., 1994); rice Amy 3B (Sutcliffe et al., 1991); rice OSamy-c (Kim et al., 1992; Kim & Wu, 1992; Tanida et al., 1994); rice Amy 1A (Huang et al., 1990; Itoh et al., 1995).
