Corrigendum: Low-Light Dependence of the Magnetic Field Effect on Cryptochromes: Possible Relevance to Plant Ecology.

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2018.00121.].

In the original article, there was an error. The definition of (x) (Equation 6) requires additional clarification, particularly the approach used to calculate Δ[Cry*]/Δk.

A correction has been made to the section LIGHT INTENSITY-DEPENDENCE OF THE MF EFFECT ON PLANTS, subsections I-Dependence of the MF Effect on Cry, and I-Dependence of the MF Effect on Cry Signaling State, Paragraph 3.

“… where (x) gives the solution for Δ[B]eq/Δk (Δ[Cry*]/Δk1) according to log (k/k) for the case where Δk (Δk1) = 20%, that is within the range of values possibly caused by the GMF, i.e., 1–50% (Maeda et al., 2012; Kattnig et al., 2016). Note (x) remains similar within that range. For Δk = 1 or 50%, it is, respectively, slightly shifted to the right (centered at x ~ 0) or to the left (centered at x = −0.5), and its slope remains similar. Δ[Cry*]/Δk1 is then calculated for different I and T values, with x = log (k1/k2 + k1) at each respective values.”

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.

The original article has been updated.
