The sentences which should be corrected are shown below. All refer-ence numbers shown in this erratum text are those used in the original article.Original text (Background section):Cairns et al. [3] reported that under drought conditions, yield loss in both hybrids and inbreds was largely associ-ated with a highly significant decrease in the number of kernels per unit of ear area.Should read:Cairns et al. [3] reported that under drought conditions, “yield loss in both hybrids and inbreds was largely associ-ated with a highly significant decrease in the number of kernels per unit area”.Original text (Background section):From a breeding perspective, studies have found that yield components tend to display greater heritability than overall yield [9, 10].Should read:From a breeding perspective, “studies have found that yield components tend to display greater heritability than overall yield” [9, 10].Original text (Background section):According to Miller et  al.

[1] have proposed three custom algorithms designed to compute kernel features automat-ically from digital images acquired by a low cost platform. One algorithm determines the average space each kernel occupies along the cob axis using a sliding-window Fou-rier transform analysis of image intensity features. The second one counts individual kernels removed from ears, including those in clusters. The third one measures each kernel’s major and minor axis.Should read:Open AccessPlant Methods*Correspondence:  z.mainassaraabdou@cgiar.org 1 International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), PO Box MP163, Harare, ZimbabweFull list of author information is available at the end of the articlePage 2 of 2Makanza et al.
