      The manuscript describes valuable theoretical calculations focusing on the structural changes in the photosynthetic reaction center postulated by others based on time-resolved crystallography using X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) (Dods et al., Nature, 2021). The authors provide solid arguments that calculated changes in redox potential Em and deformations using the XEFL structures may reflect experimental errors rather than real structural changes.

      This is a valuable study of the molecular basis of summer-to-winter transition in the pear psyllid pest, Cacopsylla chinensis (hemiptera). The molecular and organismal experiments using current methodologies to evaluate the cold responsiveness of the target proteins are mostly convincing, but the structural and phylogenetic analyses remain inconclusive. The results of this study will be of interest to entomologists.

      This study and associated data is compelling, novel, important, and well-carried out. The study demonstrates a novel finding that different chemotherapeutic agents can induce nucleolar stress, which manifests with varying cellular and molecular characteristics. The study also proposes a mechanism for how a novel type of nucleolar stress driven by CDK inhibitors may be regulated. The study sheds light on the importance of nucleolar stress in defining the on-target and off-target effects of chemotherapy in normal and cancer cells.
