Correction: Field-Evolved Resistance in Corn Earworm to Cry Proteins Expressed by Transgenic Sweet Corn.

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0169115.].

There is an error in Table 2 of the file S3 Appendix in the Supporting Information files. The terms “None” and “Square root” are switched under the headings in the first column, rows 3 and 4. Please see the complete, correct Table 2 here.

Table 2

Summary of model, data transformations, fixed effects, parameters and coefficients of response variables comparing trends in ear damage and infestations of Helicoverpa zea in Cry1A.105+Cry2Ab2 Bt and nonBt sweet corn hybrids during 2010–2016 in Maryland.

The negative coefficient estimates for the interaction parameter (Year: TreatmentNon-Bt) indicates that the rate of changes (damage, consumption, instar growth and late instar proportion) over the past 7 years was lesser for non-Bt than Bt varieties.
