The above article, published online on 9 November 2023 in Wiley Online Library ( wileyonlinelibrary.com ), has been retracted by agreement between the journal's Editor‐in‐Chief Danielle Benoit; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The retraction has been agreed following an investigation of the concerns raised by Mycosphaerella arachidis on PubPeer [1], which identified unexpected similarities between multiple panels of Figure 7. More specifically, the images depicting the wounds of animals in the CSPUO 2 and Control groups after 10 days appear identical to the image of the T4‐W group after 15 days. Additional concerns have been identified regarding the similarity of the Day 0 and Day 5 panels of the CSPUO 2 group to two panels in Figure 6A from another publication by the author group, where they are attributed to a different experimental condition [2]. As a result of the investigation, the data and conclusions of this article are considered unreliable. The authors disagree with this retraction.
