Genetic and Biochemical Aspects of Floral Scents in Roses
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
1. The authors need to enrich the abstract by adding a concentrated concept of the main theme and recent key achievements in this field.
2. It's strange to put a section of discussion with a conclusion in a review article. Commonly, a conclusion can combine perspectives and it needs to avoid citing references in this part because the authors have reviewed literature and have to give a digested and concentrate content for the conclusion, and also give some future directions for this research field.
3. L19: Floral scent - The floral scent
4. L33: the second largest - the second-largest
5. L96: the original oil bearing cultivars - the original oil-bearing cultivars
6. L339: was developed specially for researches to - was developed especially for research on
7. to create novel varieties - to creating novel varieties
8. After reading this manuscript, I found it is very valuable for this research field and can be accepted for publication in IJMS.

Reviewer 2 Report
Line 20: add a space after “pollinators”, check similar throughout the manuscript.
Line 43: industry [15]
Lines 51-53: Check the grammar of the sentence: “Unraveling the molecular bases of flower scents is not only a fascinating topic in the rose biology, but will improve rose production in the floriculture industry.”
Line 68: delete the word “cultivars”, these are species
Line 69: delete the word “cultivars”, these are species
Line 78: DMT [36,37]
Line 312: Table 3: suggest changing “Rose Variety” to “Rose Species”
