Reviewer 2 Report
This paper is based upon a descriptive report of an interesting concept. Further hypothesis driven work is required to firm up the general description of over expression. The explanation of rosette phenotypes is interesting. How might it relate to rosette phenotypes commonly found in autumn germinated biannual plants? Are these genes upregulated in response to short days and/or low temperatures? A well-designed, hypothesis driven study of this question may lead to a very nice study with important implications.
Abstract L4: mutants are have resulted...
Introduction L2: that are responsible..
Well done with only minor issues.

Thank you for your suggestion. RPL16D is upregulated in response to low temperatures, but we don't know if it responds to short day. It would be interesting to study this further.
