Correction to: Nature Plants https://doi.org/10.1038/s41477-025-02011-y, published online 6 June 2025.

In the version of the article initially published, in the Fig. 2d legend, the text “…if loops are more (low CR) or less (high CR) smooth” should have read “…if loops are more (high CR) or less (low CR) smooth” and has now been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
