  1. Corrections for composition of buffer solutions

    Jorg Becker, Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência

    21 December 2012

    We have detected the following mistakes in the composition of two buffer solutions:

    Galbraith buffer: It should read 0.1% (v/v) Triton-100 instead of 1% Triton-100

    Sperm extraction buffer (SEB): It should read 0.83 mM MgSO4 instead of 5.83 mM MgSO4

    We apologize to readers for these mistakes.

  2. PEB buffer

    Pollen Extraction Buffer (PEB) should be prepared with 0.1% H3BO3 and not 1% as indicated.
    Alternatively SEB buffer can be used for microspore sorting, too.
