Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear authors,

 This study is interesting to the audience, particularly for the new role of mycotoxin cytochalasin A (CA) for plants. This study may contribute to the complex networks of bioherbicides.

 Line 84-92: I suggest to rewrite this paragraph, because this statement is more like for conclusion, not in the introduction. This paragraph should indicate your hypothesis and research goals.

Author Response

Thank you for your suggestion. We have rewritten this part based on your suggestion. (Line 94-105)

Reviewer 2 Report

The paper manuscript “Effect of mycotoxin cytochalasin A on photosystem II in Ager- 2

atina adenophora.”

Overall, this is a well written manuscript and has a potential to be accepted.  Nevertheless, the authors should revise and expand their Conclusion about the mode of action of the mycotoxin cytochalasin (CA). 

Minor comments follow.

1)General Comment: Please check abbreviations with consistency in main text. Define it at the first appearance, then use it after the definition  (QA, FO, FM, FV/FM, etc.).

2)Please enrich the introduction with more recent references, if available.
