Reviewer 2 Report
The review was to the point and easy to follow. The pipeline should be easy to understand and develop in breeding program. I congratulate the authors for putting a nice story.
Following are some specific edits
Line18: might require to conduct
Line69: “Seems no” – use of no does not fit in there
Line77: use selection in spite of election – leave or take edit
Line 82: Yield is controlled by small effect loci but plant height is may not control by small effect loci in all the cases. In some crops, there are major genes reported for plant height and it is highly heritable, so breeders can target it in MAS. Height is highly heritable trait in many cases but still most breeders do not target it in MAS because you can clearly see it in the field. Breeders rather focus on the traits that are difficult to phenotype.
