Reviewer 2 Report
The manuscript is very interesting, since authors elucidated the molecular mechanisms underlying the response to cold stress in rice providing strategies for engineering cold-tolerance in high-yielding varieties. However, the article is a little bit disorder and difficult to read. The order of the methodology should be modified to present the experiment in a logical order, the same happens with results section. Besides, the resolution and quality of the figures should be greatly improved. There are some minor details added in the main document. In my opinion authors need to order the sequence of the assays and present information in a clear way. Although discussion is well organized, some results were not compared with other previous results.
