Abstract
The Editor in Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised about overlapping panels between this article and a previously-published paper by partially the same group of authors [1], specifically: ● Fig. 4a appears very similar to Fig. 4c in [1]; ● The time stamp for Fig. 4b is 11/3/2015 10:18:43 AM, same as the one in Fig. 4d in [1], despite showing a different transgenic line and angle; ● The time stamp for Fig. 4d is 11/3/2015 10:55:15AM, same as the one in Fig. 4f in [1], despite showing a different transgenic line and angle. The authors were unable to present raw data on request. The Editor in Chief, therefore, has lost confidence in the integrity of the results of the paper. Authors Shuan Wang, Yingying Liu, Hairong Wei, and Zhigang Wei agree to the retraction. Authors Meilang Li, Yang Zhang, Menxuan Ren, Lulu Liu, and Tingting Lu have not responded to any correspondence from the editor about this retraction not responded to any correspondence from the editor about this retraction.
