Basic reporting

1. The section of Conclusion and Outlook can be further expanded, for example, by including prospects for future research directions or predictions on the impact of industrial development, in order to make the entire article more logically complete.
2. The article details the main nutritional components of daylily, including soluble sugars, ascorbic acid, flavonoids, dietary fiber, carotenoids, mineral elements, and polyphenols. These contents are relatively complete, but it may be beneficial to consider incorporating some of the latest research findings or providing a more detailed comparison and analysis of the nutritional differences among different varieties.
3. When describing the medicinal value of daylily, various health benefits such as soothing nerves and improving vision are mentioned. It may be helpful to include some research data supported by literature in this section to enhance the credibility and persuasiveness of the description.
4. Regarding the ornamental value of daylily, the article mentions its application in garden landscaping and flower blooming characteristics. This section can be further expanded, for example, by introducing the ornamental characteristics of different varieties, in order to provide a more comprehensive description of the ornamental value.

Additional comments

In the manuscript “Advances in research on the main nutritional quality of daylily, an important flower vegetable of Liliaceae”, the authors highlighted the nutritional quality of daylily, the research progress of dried vegetable rehydration technology and dried daylily. The medicinal and ornamental values of daylily were also discussed.
The manuscript provided useful information of daylily. The manuscript could be considered for publication after addressing some points below.

Comments:
1. The article covers many research areas related to daylily research, but the discussion of each aspect is relatively brief. Some only point out the facts, without providing more in-depth and specific information. My advice is that you can provide more specific and enlightening information in addition to the results from other studies.
2. Abstract content is short, it is suggested to increase.
3. It is suggested to add the figure about rehydration of dried daylily in Figure 4.
4. The “CONCLUSION AND OUTLOOK” should be modified to make it more specific and avoid duplication with the abstract.
5. The author should check references carefully. Make sure they are properly cited.
6. The language of the paper also needs to be polished.
