Any Additional Overall Comments to the Author	I think this long-read assembly is a great improvement against the previous short-read version available to the community to date. The assembly metrics are good, the dataset public, and there is good quality control all through the process. The manuscript is well written and the protocols are well explained. The data is public and the new assembly of interest to the community. However, I think the assembly has a limited interest for the research and breeding community without a gene annotation, which is not part of the manuscript. Since the authors have the data (e.g. iso-seq) and expertise, I do not understand why it has not been included in first place.
