The Editor has retracted this article. Concerns were raised regarding a number of figures, specifically:
-
The WT specimen depicted in Fig. 4A appears to overlap with the Col-0 specimen under drought conditions shown in Fig. 4C in Plant, Cell & Environment [1].
-
The TaGAPC1P-3/TaWRKY40 panel in Fig. 6C appears to overlap with the TaGAPCp3P-3/TaMyb panel of Fig. 9B in the BMC Plant Biology paper [2].
-
Figure 2A (Col-0; drought 25d and 7d after re-watering) appears to overlap with Fig. 5A (WT; drought 25d and 7d after re-watering) of their BMC Plant Biology paper [2].
-
Figure 2A (OE; drought 25d) in their BMC Genomics paper appears to overlap with Fig. 5A (OE-2 and OE-3; drought 25d) of their BMC Plant Biology paper [2].
The Editor therefore no longer has confidence in the results and conclusions of this article.
The authors have not responded to correspondence regarding this retraction.
