Reviewer 2 Report
Some additions need to be made to the article:
abstract
line 30: GA3 concentration not specified
materials
it is not indicated how hormones were introduced into a solid medium for regeneration
picture 1: no scale
A, B, G, F, J, L photos are low resolution and not informative. Better to replace with other photographs.
There are misprints in the text, you need to check the text.

Reviewer 2 Report
More information on in vitro production of somatic embryoids for sandalwood should be added in the introduction. Plant growth and development regulators have been used for cultural media. It is necessary to clarify when (before or after autoclaving) and in what form (dry or solution) the regulators were added.
