Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This article is about gene function. For the completeness of the experiment, it is suggested to supplement the experiment and add GID1 subcellular localization experiment.

Comments on the Quality of English Language

Comments 1:This article is about gene function. For the completeness of the experiment, it is suggested to supplement the experiment and add GID1 subcellular localization experiment.

Response 1:We can increase GID1 subcellular localization experiment, but we need more time for the experiment.

 

Comments 2:English is OK, it is recommended to check carefully.

Response 2:We have carefully revised the full text.

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The following lines contain my remarks on the necessary corrections to this article:

The binominal latin name of petunia should be added to the title.

The Introduction lacks description of gibberellins and some of their functions. The distribution of petunia all over the world should be added as well.

In Introduction the readers are not completely clear regarding the research gap filled in this study. What is the new and original contribution of this paper? Many authors studied the impact of GA on branching.... In this respect, maybe a part of the information of begining of Discussion should be put in Introduction.

The Methods lacks the description of the methods of statistical analysis and the software used.

The authors should follow the instructions of Current Issues in Molecular Biology for writing the manuscript. For example, here the authors are not numbered in order of appearance in the text. Authors contributions and conflicts of interest should be added as well as funding (if any).
