Autoria Table S1

Posted by vpulidoblanco on 17 Aug 2020 at 14:08 GMT

The reason for the comment is to point out that Table S1. Severity scale of symptoms for the Physalis peruviana - Fusarium oxysyporum pathosystem., Was erroneously declared as generated by Edwin A. Rodríguez and Carolina González (see: Generated the resistance scale for analysis: EAR CG). I have already communicated with the investigators, and through emails that they know, and if necessary, they can contribute, they recognized the error and said they would correct it. In the last communication, the researcher Carolina González kindly informed me that the PLOS ONE journal instructed to use this comment section to make the change. I see that the problem of false authorship persists, and here I am following the referred channel so that, hopefully, the authorship of the table is finally recognized as I was assured.


I remain attentive to the process and I am grateful for your attention.

Through this section, as an author of this paper, I would like to confirm that: The Table S1. Severity scale of symptoms for the Physalis peruviana - Fusarium oxysyporum pathosystem https://doi.org/10.1371/j... was the result of Victor Pulido's undergraduate work to obtain the title of Biologist from UPTC University (Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia) in 2010 under my supervision (CG). This table was applied by EAR and CG for results and analysis of this paper, and It was not generated by them, as was mentioned in Author contributions section.
