Growth, Flowering, and Fruit Production of Strawberry ‘Albion’ in Response to Photoperiod and Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density of Sole-Source Lighting

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Line 44 : the sole-source lighting was used using LEDs in this study. Provide any references in which dual- or multi-source lighting are used.

line 77 : most studies ? (present appropriate references)

line 79 : few studies ? (present appropriate references)

Lines 77-80 : Present the main differences or originality of this study from the previous studies.

Line 87 : how many hypotheses are used in this study? Each research hypothesis should be tested using the experimental results.

Line 106 :  R-squared represents a determination coefficient, NOT correlation one. Use a correct term!

Figures 1-3. each slope of each regression equation must be statistically tested using t-test. Use null hypothesis (slope is not statistically different from 0) against alternative hypothesis (slope is statistically different from 0).

Reviewer 2 Report

Yujin Park et al. investigated the effects of photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) and photoperiod of sole-source lighting on plant growth, flowering, and fruit production in strawberry ‘Albion.’  Their results are interesting but not sufficient for publishing at the present form. I suggest fruit quality should be investigated e.g. fruit size, color, taste and related components
