This erratum refers to the research paper "Convergent acquisition of disulfide-forming enzymes in fragrant flowers" by Y. Okuyama and colleagues.[9] The article was published in Science, Volume 388, Issue 6747, Pages 656-661, May 8, 2025.[2][8] Erratum published in Science, Volume 391, Issue 6780, January 1, 2026.[9] The original article describes the disulfide synthase (DSS) enzyme that produces dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) in the fragrant flowers of the genus Asarum.[2] This enzyme arose from methanethiol oxidase (MTOX) by three amino acid changes and evolved independently in three genera of plants: Asarum, Eurya and Symplocarpus.[2][5] The research involved transcriptome analysis of 26 species and 30 examples of Asarum.[1] The erratum corrects an error in this article, but specific details of the correction are not specified in the provided content.[9]
