Striving for Stability in the Dough Mixing Quality of Spring Wheat under the Influence of Prolonged Heat and Drought
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The paper has a very promising starting point: Striving for stable the dough mixing quality in spring wheat 2 under the influence of prolonged heat and drought
Major points:
1. Summaries need to be clear and concise
2. In the instruction section, you should give a update of what is known and unknown
Minor points:
For Tables: in Table 2, what is the unit of these numbers? Are these statistic results? Where can we see the statistic different? How many replicates? In Table 2, the unit?
In all figures: Missing population number (with clear indications of what it represents) and statistical test used is missing in all figure legends

Reviewer 2 Report
The manuscript is written well.
A concern in the manuscript is that this manuscript has a significant amount overlapping published data (Lama et al (2022) Food & Energy Security 15th March). It would be nice to remove the data repetition and present the results concisely or indicate clearly that the data taken from the following reference(s).
Elaborate methodologies are given in this manuscript, authors may refer their own publications and present the data concisely.
Supplemental information is not required because this manuscript is an extension of their earlier publication (March 2022).
It would be nice to avoid 'Protein Concentration' in the manuscript and change to Protein Amounts / Content.

We thank the reviewer for the comments, which we addressed carefully in order to improve the manuscript. We removed flour parameters from Table1 and Table 2 and we referred to our previous publication throughout the manuscript. We also clearly indicated that this study is an extension of our previous study and this was highlighted in the Materials and methods section 4.1.
- Elaborate methodologies are given in this manuscript, authors may refer their own publications and present the data concisely.
We addressed the comment and referred to our own publications in all sections of the methodology, such as 4.1, 4.2. and 4.4. All the major changes are highlighted.
