Major Revisions

The original Academic Editor is no longer available so I have taken over handling your submission.

Both reviewers agree that you manuscript presents interesting work, but there are a number of issues that need to be addressed. There are many places where the writing must be improved for clarity and grammar. Both reviewers have included annotated PDFs with corrections, please pay close attention to these.

[# PeerJ Staff Note: Please ensure that all review and editorial comments are addressed in a response letter and any edits or clarifications mentioned in the letter are also inserted into the revised manuscript where appropriate.  It is a common mistake to address reviewer questions in the response letter but not in the revised manuscript. If a reviewer raised a question then your readers will probably have the same question so you should ensure that the manuscript can stand alone without the response letter.  Directions on how to prepare a response letter can be found at: https://peerj.com/benefits/academic-rebuttal-letters/ #]

[# PeerJ Staff Note: The Academic Editor has identified that the English language must be improved. PeerJ can provide language editing services - please contact us at [email protected] for pricing (be sure to provide your manuscript number and title) #]

Basic reporting

The manuscript “Trichoderma longibrachiatum TG1 increases wheat seedlings endogenous salicylic acid content and antioxidants activity under salinity stress” has enough merit to be published in PeerJ, however not in its current format because the text needs some improvement, mainly in the Discussion section.

Experimental design

The work presents the correct experimental design and I agree with the statistical analysis used by the authors.

Validity of the findings

The work has great merit for study an interesting interaction between plant and fungi aiming to reduces salinity stress.

Additional comments

The authors are to be congratulated for their work, which is of great quality already in this format. I attached a file with comments that can help the authors improve their work.
