The ms is the result of an intensive and years-long work of breeding, that eventually pyramidized several resistance genes and QTLs for abiotic traits into an indian elite rice variety.
The phenotypic data are important, but currently they are presented only as additional material. The authors should consider reshaping the tables, eliminating unnecessary columns (e.g. no. of genes / QTLs, which is already represented in column 1) and add the most striking phenotypic data, when possible and relevant for discussion. Also "entry nos." is probably not clear and ILs no should maybe considered instead.
