On page 7674 the standard error and % of nitrogen values in the second half of Table 1 should be modified. The correct version of the table is given below:

Table 1 Elemental analysis of the fruits and biomass of shoots in terms of their CHN amounts
Percentage CHN analysis of fruits
Concentration of wsCNOs in plants% Carbon% Hydrogen% Nitrogen
Control (0 µg mL-1)43.45 ± 0.256.78 ± 0.173.91 ± 0.07
10 µg mL-143.12 ± 0.086.78 ± 0.083.49 ± 0.20
