Following publication of the original article [1], the author identified minor errors in the body of the article. The errors are highlighted in bold.

Original Statement 1:

Page 3 Under the subtitle “Coding sequences”: The term \(\:{\widehat{N}{\prime\:}}_{c}\) [28] is a modified version of \(\:{\widehat{\varvec{N}}\mathbf{{\prime\:}}}_{\varvec{c}}\) [24].

Correct Statement 1:

The term \(\:{\widehat{N}{\prime\:}}_{c}\) [28] is a modified version of \(\:{\widehat{N}}_{c}\) [24].

Original Statement 2:

Page 3 Under the subtitle “Analysis of the sources of codon variation”:The codon adaptation index (CAI) was calculated using formula (4) [33, 48].

Correct Statement 2:

The codon adaptation index (CAI) was calculated using formula (4) [33, 48]:

Original Statement 3:

There were four codons with usage frequency ratios ≤ 0.5 or  2 (termination codons TAA, TAG, TGA, and CCG) compared with cassava and three codons (termination codons TAA, TAG, and TGA) compared with J. curcas.

Correct Statement 3:

There were four codons with usage frequency ratios ≤ 0.5 or ≥ 2 (termination codons TAA, TAG, TGA, and CCG) compared with cassava and three codons (termination codons TAA, TAG, and TGA) compared with J. curcas.

Original Statement 4:

Page 11 Lines5-8: Nevertheless, studies on the CUB of Cuscuta australis (C. australis) have shown that its high frequency of codon usage is inconsistent with that of genes with high expression levels [57].

Correct Statement 4:

Nevertheless, studies on the CUB of Cuscuta australis have shown that its high frequency of codon usage is inconsistent with that of genes with high expression levels [57].

The correction does not compromise the validity of the conclusions and the overall content of the article. The original article [1] has been updated.
