Retraction: Mechanosensitive channel candidate MCA2 is involved in touch-induced root responses in Arabidopsis.

Note: The retracted article appeared in SPACELINE Current Awareness List #615 on September 12, 2014. From the abstract: “The authors and the journal wish to retract the 21 Aug 2014 article . . . in light of new experimental evidence. Following the publication of the study, we performed a DNA microarray analysis to detect genes with expression levels that were specifically lower in the mca2-null mutant than in the Col-0 wild type, and found that the expression level of the AXR4 gene (At1G54990), which encodes a protein required for the subcellular localization of the auxin influx carrier AUX1 (Dharmasirietal., 2006), was significantly lower in the mca2-null mutant.” This article may be obtained online without charge.
