Reviewer 1 Report (Previous Reviewer 1)
Authors have already answered all issues I asked in the original version and fixed them. Good work.
Reviewer 2 Report (New Reviewer)
In the manuscript, entitled „The roles of net photosynthetic rate and transpiration efficiency on economic yield of Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) genotypes under different drought durations during the terminal growth stages”, the authors analysed the drought response of different Jerusalem artichoke genotypes and tried to find the correlation between the chosen photosynthetic physiological parameters and the economic yield. The manuscript is written in good manner and order, the methods were described in such detail, that the experimental settings are repeatable. The results are presented clearly and as a conclusion they were able to select JA125 and JA4 genotypes as good parental sources for breeding, as well SPAD Chlorophyll Meter Reading and Specific Leaf Area parameters for indirect selection.
In my opinion, the content and the quality of the manuscript is reaching the standard of this journal, therefore I recommend its publication.
This manuscript is a resubmission of an earlier submission. The following is a list of the peer review reports and author responses from that submission.
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This is a well-designed work for an important economic crop, Jerusalem artichoke. I believe authors did serious works and analysis, the results are well presented, all statistic analyses are well done. The conclusion can be supported by their results. Nice manuscript.
I have only one small suggestion, since the abbreviation of JA maybe not fair enough here, since in agriculture and plant sciences, JA is a common abbreviation of Jasmonic Acid. I suggest you to change it for a better reading.
