The study is very interesting and requires to study of the impact of HMs seed germination. The MS is very informative, especially for its seed priming in heavy metal-affected soils. At this stage, the MS is not suitable for publication but needs to be rigorous revision for grammar, punctuation and language.
The experiment was designed nicely on seed priming in HM affected soils.
As per my knowledge, the findings seems valid.
There are several mistakes as given below:
1. Remove the word novel from the title and revise it.
2. The author used the free available Grammarly online software for language improvement but unknowingly used Coma before and everywhere. Please remove it.
3. The table sequence in the text is not as per requirement.
4. Several typing mistakes are there.
5. Authors need to rewrite the references as per journal format.
6. Tables need to be superscript of the alphabet.
