We appreciate the valuable review comments! We have revised the manuscript following suggestion. Our point-by-point responses to the review comments are listed below.

Point 1: Page No 15, Table 2, In column of somatic embryo induction rate  there will be ‘cotyledonary somatic embryos’ and not the ‘cotyledon somatic embryos’.

Response 1: Thanks for pointing out the mistake. Following the suggestion, we have revised ‘cotyledon somatic embryos’ to be ‘cotyledonary somatic embryos’.

Point 2: 356 F1 TO WRITTEN AS F_1. 

Response 2: Following the suggestion, we have revised ‘F1’ in line 356 to be ‘F₁’.

Point 3: Refrence no 4 delete the repeat accessed.

Response 3: Thanks for pointing out the mistake, we have deleted the repeat “accessed”.

Reviewer 2 Report

1- The title is very long and needs editing

2- These authors contributed equally to this work. This part does not belong here...it is removed

3- Keywords are too long and inexpressive...need modification

4- It has been mentioned that there are many rubber-producing plants, please mention some of them as examples, with mentioning the differences in quality, quantities and areas of spread

5- Please always put the word in vitro in italics

6- Lardet et al. (2007), Zhou et al. (2012) We call attention to not using the method of listing references

7- The sentences must be linked as long as they are for the same researcher as in No. 12

8- (6±2°C) Such expressions need care when writing

9- As in Figure 1, each image represents a stage that takes a sub-number and is interpreted under the image

10- It is preferable to write mg / L in the form mg L -1

Minor editing of English language required
