Genome-Wide Identification of Proline Transporter Gene Family in Non-Heading Chinese Cabbage and Functional Analysis of BchProT1 under Heat Stress
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsDear Editors,
The manuscript entitled "Genome-wide identification of proline transporter gene family in non-heading Chinese cabbage and functional analysis of BchProT1 under heat stress” by Jun Tian et al. is within the aim and scope of International Journal of Molecular Sciences. The authors have investigated the pivotal role of ProT in the proline transport pathway as well as to characterize ProT under heat stress.
The study is attractive with interesting subject and results. The study seems to be valuable and the research methods and results are quite well documented.
Overall, the manuscript is well-written and I have minor comments. I recommend to accept it after supplementations and corrections (see attached file).

Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe work was very predictable as similar studies also exist for other plants.
Some of the images are poor and legends for figures need more detail.
Not sure of how the studies were replicated and stat analysis performed.
Manuscript could be improved.

generally OK but some sentences need rephrasing.
Several times order of presentation of material could be improved.
