Multi-Omics Analysis Reveals Intricate Gene Networks Involved in Female Development in Melon
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for Authors
In this study, the authors identified intricate gene networks involved in female development in melon using multi-omics analysis. The authors discovered that four biological process modules, including ethylene biosynthesis, flower organ development, plant hormone signaling, and ubiquitinated protein metabolism, are related to female development in melon. The manuscript is well-written and presented. However, before accepting this paper, the following minor issues should be resolved:
Line 18: Please use the full name of DAPs (Differentially Abundant Proteins) and DEGs (Differentially Expressed Genes) before using the abbreviation.
Lines 500-501: Please provide information on the environmental conditions in which the melon plants were grown.
Discussion: The authors should discuss the limitations of the current study.
