Several mistakes appeared in the above-mentioned paper. The data were collected by different persons, i.e., one collected GFP fluorescence and another measured Bt protein and the developmental stages were incorrectly labelled. It was assumed that the data at various leaf stages were disordered and the actual order of the developmental stages should be the inverse to that described in the paper. As a consequence, the overall trend of GFP and Bt protein concentration increased along with the growth of plants rather than decreased, although their expression is still varied. The disorder of the data also affected the correlation formulae between GFP and Bt protein but did not affect their associated relationship. Thus the corrected data are provided as follows.
