## Executive GIST (TL;DR)
- This notice is a formal correction to a previously published PLOS ONE article characterizing an **AGAMOUS-like MADS box** protein (MA-MADS5) in banana and its putative role in flowering and fruit ripening regulatory systems. - Concerns were raised about Fig 6: panels I–IV in Fig 6F appeared similar to panels I–IV in Fig 6G. - The corresponding author acknowledged that panels I–IV in Fig 6F were incorrect and provided replacement panels that were acquired during the original experiment. - A corrected version of Figure 6 has been issued, and the original underlying images for all panels of Figs 6F and 6G are provided as S1 File with the correction notice. - The correction clarifies that underlying data for the rest of the article and Supporting Information files are available from the corresponding author, except that the **RT-PCR** data underlying Fig 9 are no longer available. - Figure 6 in the article analyzes MA-MADS5 protein expression across banana fruit zones (A–E) and includes immunoblotting and immunolocalization data from preclimacteric, climacteric, and postclimacteric stages; representative images were taken from at least three independent experiments. - The correction includes publication metadata: the correction was published in PLOS ONE on September 1, 2026 (DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0357355) and pertains to the original 2012 article by Roy Choudhury et al. - Supporting file S1 contains the ZIP of original images underlying Fig 6F and 6G; a corrected figure image is available for download in PNG and TIFF formats. - The notice limits its scope to the figure-panel duplication concern and data availability statement; no other methodological changes or new experimental results are reported in this correction.

Click through the PLOS taxonomy to find articles in your field. For more information about PLOS Subject Areas, click here . Article Metrics Comments Media Coverage Reader Comments Figures Figures After this article [ 1 ] was published, concerns were raised regarding Fig 6. Specifically, panels I-IV in Fig 6F appear similar to panels I-IV in Fig 6G. The corresponding author stated that panels I-IV in Fig 6F are incorrect and provided a corrected version of Figure 6 including replacement image panels for 6F that were acquired in the original experiment. The available underlying images for all panels of Figs 6F and 6G have been included with this notice as S1 File . The original underlying data to support all results in the article and Supporting Information files are available from the corresponding author, except for the RT-PCR data supporting Fig 9 which are no longer available. Download: PNG larger image TIFF original image Fig 6. Analysis of expression of MA-MADS5 protein in various regions of banana fruit tissue. A Various regions of banana fruit from the cultivar Giant governor ( Musa sp , AAA group, subgroup Cavendish) have been indicated (zones A–E). b Detection of MA-MADS5 protein in A and B zones of preclimacteric (0 DAH), climacteric (88 DAH) and postclimacteric (92 DAH) banana fruit by immunoblotting using anti-MA-MADS5 polyclonal antibody (1∶1000 dilution) (upper panel). Equal amounts of small nuclear protein was loaded in each lane and shown as loading control (lower panel). c–e Immunodetection of MA-MADS5 protein levels in C, D and E zones (including both peripheral and central parts) of preclimacteric, climacteric and postclimacteric fruit pulp tissues of banana (upper panel). Equal amounts of small nuclear protein was loaded in each lane and shown as loading control (lower panels of c, d and e respectively). Representative images from at least three independent experiments are shown for Figure b–e. f and g Immunolocalization of MA-MADS5 protein in A and B zones in postclimacteric banana pulp tissues (92 DAH). The legends of the panels I–IV are similar as described in Figure 5 b–e. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0357355.g006 Supporting information S1 File.
