Physiological Characterization of Tripidium arundinaceum and Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) Germplasm for Salinity Stress Tolerance at the Formative Stage

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

 You must keep attention in English and correct all type mismatches.
You have too many errors and misunderstanding phereses 

Some exaples you have below 

Remove extra space at "2 ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research,"

 

Abstract are too long. Abstract must be a single paragraph of about 200 words maximum.

I don't know very well English but I think "upto" correct are up to (in abstract at "Co 86032 tolerates upto 25 mM of salinity stress"). Also, at "IND01-1134. No significant changes in thickening" I think correct are "IND01-1134. There were no significant changes in thickening"

 

At "Introduction"

mha - Mha (if you mean Million hectare)

Also why you use Mha an after you use "900 million ha" Try to use the same expressions, the same units in all paper.

"for irrigation [2][3]" correct to "for irrigation [2,3]"

"uptake of Na+ and Cl-" correct to "uptake of Na⁺ and Cl^-" (use superscript)

What did you mean with "(Retz.) Jeswiet"

 

Table 1 - in my pdf at page 2 I have only 1 line of table and 1 line with "Table 1. List of Erianthus arundinaceus clones for salt tolerance studies" try to move both line in next page.

What did you mean with "E. arundinaceus" Only use abbreviations if they are widely known across the broad readership of Cochrane Reviews, are used frequently in a section or throughout the review, or enhance readability.

 

2.5. Estimation of sodium and potassium in root samples - in my pdf are the last line in page 3 move to next page.

 

Missing dot at "weight) *100"

 

 

"Plate-1"  looks like a Figure. You must correct to Figure 1.Also you must have the explication text for figure before figure and ALSO you must explain all 4 images (a, b, c and d)

 

 

At 3.2 correct figure 1 to figure 2

 

You have 7 images but are missing notation for each of one (a, b, c...)

 

At 3.4 missing some space after "genotype Co 97010."

 

At figure 4 missing notation a, b and c from images

 

At 3.9 "(Figure 8)" until there all are bolded. Try to use the same annotation in your paper

Also "(Figure 9)" are bolded but "(Figure 10)" not

 

At conclusions give more details some comparative results ore some graphics / table can help

 

At References

"1. FAOSTAT FAOSTAT Online Statistical Service." give more information or give web address and when was accesed but you.
