Effects of LED Light on Aromatic Medicinal Plants from Lavandula, Salvia, and Thymus Genera: A Systematic Review
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe title is indeed engaging and well-aligned with the journal's scope, offering valuable insights into the effect of various LED light treatments on plant morphology, physiology, bioactive compound production, and flowering induction in aromatic medicinal plants, particularly species within the Lavandula, Salvia, and Thymus genera.
However significant revisions are required before it can be considered for publication.
1. Keywords and Numbers: Please provide an explanation or context for these numbers to enhance their relevance and utility.
2. Abstract: The abstract needs to be revised to explicitly state the main experimental results covered in the review. Specifically, include key findings such as root dry weight, the number of flowering buds, and other significant results. This will provide readers with a clear and concise summary of the review’s key contributions.
3. Abbreviations: Ensure that all abbreviations are fully defined upon their first mention in the manuscript. This will enhance clarity and make the manuscript more accessible to a wider audience.
4. Discussion Section: The discussion section requires substantial enhancement. Focus on linking ideas more coherently to provide a clear narrative of how the various LED light treatments impact the studied plant species. Strengthening the connections between findings and theoretical implications will improve the overall coherence of the discussion.
5. Citation Format: Revise the citation format within the text by removing the years of publication. Ensure that the citations are consistent with the journal’s guidelines and provide a seamless reading experience.
6. Conclusions: The conclusions are generally consistent with the evidence and arguments presented. However, they need further refinement to more effectively summarize and integrate the main findings of the review.
7. References: While the references cited are appropriate, the discussion would benefit from additional references that both support and challenge the manuscript’s findings. Including a broader range of studies will provide a more comprehensive perspective and strengthen the review.
