Reviewer 1 Report
This review manuscript summarized the papers about CRISPR-Cas Genome Editing for Insect Pest Stress Management in Crop Plants. This review manuscript can be helpful for young student readers who are fresh in this field. However, the English language need extensive editing.
Author Response
Many thanks for the encouraging comments. The manuscript is substantially improved with recent literature and improvement of English. We hope that it would be enjoyable reading for you now.
Reviewer 2 Report
There are no major problems here, but still some minor ones need to be solved. In table 1, more references need to be added. E.G. “Knockout of the ABCB1 Gene Increases Susceptibility to Emamectin Benzoate, Beta-Cypermethrin and Chlorantraniliprole in Spodoptera frugiperda”, “Knockout of a P-glycoprotein gene increases susceptibility to abamectin and emamectin benzoate in Spodoptera exigua”, “Two ABC transporters are differentially involved in the toxicity of two Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1 toxins to the invasive crop-pest Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith)”, “Genome editing of the SfABCC2 gene confers resistance to Cry1F toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis in Spodoptera frugiperda” and so on. And, same problem in the table 2, considering that the MS was submitted to the journal as review, more relative references need to be cited.

Our responses:
Thank you for these suggestions. We have added these references along with other recent references from the literature and improved Table 1.
And same problem in the table 2, considering that the MS was submitted to the journal as review, more relative references need to be cited.
Our responses:
Thank you for this suggestion We have added recent references from the literature and improved Table 2.
