Reviewer 1 Report
I checked your manuscript and described comments below.
I think this article is well-studied on the function and regulation of mango 14-3-3 family members, but there are the following problems.
- The online tool CLUSTALW is already expire. Now it has changed CLUSTAL OMEGA (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/msa/clustalo/). You should check the alignment tool again.
- MEGA 6.0 is very old software. Currently it is MEGA11. You should at least analyze with MEGA X.
- 44 p. 110219 -> 110219 (110219 is paper number. “p.” is unnecessary.)

Reviewer 2 Report
In the paper entitled “Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the 14-3-3 gene family in mango (Mangifera indica L.)”, the authors identified and characterised 14-3-3 gene family in mango, which will be helpful and advance the scientific knowledge of mango, which is an economically important tropical and subtropical fruit tree species.
However, I recommend this paper for publication after addressing the below-mentioned issues.
The authors used the wrong species name for Phyllostachys - it should be corrected to the right species name.
The authors did not follow the standard nomenclature system for the genus and species names, and they are not italicised used wrong abbreviations(e.g., Citrus sinensis as Cit in the figure) - it should be corrected throughout the manuscript, including the figure legends.
The gene and protein names are wrongly used in most of the places - those should be corrected to the standard nomenclature (GENE, PROTEIN and mutant) throughout the manuscript, including the figure legends.
The abbreviations are not expanded in the first-mentioned places for genes names (e.g., FT, FD, RCN etc.,) - it should be corrected throughout the manuscript, including the figure legends.
The figure legend for figure 1 is misplaced - it should be moved to the right place.
The authors did not follow the one standard format to label the figures (e.g., Figure 1 A, B and Figure 9 a, b) – it should be corrected in one standard format for consistency.
There are many typos, errors and misspellings throughout the manuscript ( e.g., figure, even capital of China is misspelt, between the numbers and units)- those should be corrected throughout the manuscript.
The authors did not follow the journal’s instructions on the reference list. There are several formats, abbreviated journal names, full journal names etc., - it should be corrected following the journal’s “Instructions for Authors” to one standard format.
