Dear Authors, Though you have done some corrections, the manuscript still needs major changes in writing to make it understandable to the readers. The aim and novel aspects of the research should be clearly mentioned. The discussion must be rearranged in light of the previous studies. Please thoroughly work on the manuscript.

Accepted and Added.

 4/ Add citate in page 5 line 124 Environmental influence is an important factor affecting yield potential, especially

temperature and precipitation. Understanding the interaction between Envirioment and Genotype and Environmental conditions and nutrition are a prerequisite for the improvement of the wheat crop [27-29].

Point 5

 5/Conclusions in line 130 and 133 please delete Therefore, Therefore, population improvement may be followed to isolate superior recombinants for the development of desired parent/s in fu- 131 ture breeding programs in all tested environments. Grain yield per plant was influenced 132 by over dominance gene effect. Therefore, while selecting segregants for improvement of 133 yield attributing traits, selection may be delayed by the time dominance will be diluted 134 and transgressive segregants could be identified. 6/ Add reference 60-63 in Literature 27-29

Deleted and corrected.

Q 1

Typing mistakes and extra spacing still exist in the manuscript. Carefully check the units and formula used. Check the level of significance used in the Tables. Quality of the figures can be improved. Also check the reference list and remove irrelevant references from the list.

My manuscript English grammar checked by one co-author and he is editor of this special issue.

Figures also give in different format.

Add references as per suggestions of Reviewer 2.
