Reviewer 2 Report
In this work the content of different hormones and metabolites was measured during the flower development of Lycium ruthenicum. After the establishment of six stages in the flower development, the authors performed the content measurement of four hormones (IAA, ABA, GA3 and ZR), carbohydrates and soluble proteins, and established the ratio in some of those. The results showed changes in those hormones and metabolites during the stages of flower development.
The commets to the manuscript:
I suggest to improve the English writing in all the manuscript to permit an easy reading and understanding.
The results are interesting but the description difficults their comprehension; it is necessary to indicate the number of samples analyzed per stage, the figure legends and the labels in the graphs must be corrected, etc.
My major concern is about some statements that are presented in the Discussion and Coclusions sections that are not according, in my opinion, to the presented results.
My suggestions and comments are mentioned in the article file.

Reviewer 2 Report
I appreciate so much the authors took in account all my suggestions and corrections to the text. And in this regard my major concern is about the English grammar. The correcctions were only by the suggestions I did, but my native language is not English. In order to improve the manuscript I advice to be revised by an English editor.
I did some new minor corrections, but one of them is about the results described from graph in figure 7. Please, the concern about this is discussed in the enclosed revised document.
