Competing Interests
I have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: IR has equity in Nutrasorb, LLC. NP, IR, and DMC hold patents on Rutgers Scarlet Lettuce: “Red Lettuces with Increased Anthocyanins, Polyphenols, and Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity” U.S. Patent Application No. 13/901,804 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/651,122. This does not alter our adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
