Reviewer 2 Report
The current manuscript reports the development of soft rice lines by regulating amylose content via editing the 5'UTR of the Wx gene.
In general, this is an important and interesting work. I have, however a few comments or suggestions.
Line 34: A dot is missing at the end of the sentence.
In the last paragraph of the Introduction, I recommend formulating a specific goal of the research.
The structure of the scientific article is broken, the second section should describe the materials and methods, and therefore it is very difficult to immediately perceive the results of the research. The results are not perceived at all, because all abbreviations used are listed below in the Materials and Methods section
Line 304: bacterial genus not in italics
Not all types of equipment used have a brand and manufacturer
There are no conclusions.
