Abstract：
The Green Revolution transformed agriculture with high-yielding, stress-resistant varieties. However, the urgent need for more sustainable agricultural development presents new challenges: increasing crop yield, improving nutritional quality, and enhancing resource-use efficiency. Soil plays a vital role in crop-production systems and ecosystem services, providing water, nutrients, and physical anchorage for crop growth. Despite advancements in plant and soil sciences, our understanding of belowground plant-soil interactions, which impact both crop performance and soil health, remains limited. Here, we argue that a lack of understanding of these plant-soil interactions hinders sustainable crop production. We propose that targeted engineering of crops and soils can provide a fresh approach to achieve higher yields, more efficient sustainable crop production, and improved soil health.
摘要：
绿色革命改变了农业的高产，抗逆品种。然而,更可持续的农业发展的迫切需要提出了新的挑战:增加作物产量，提高营养质量，提高资源利用效率。土壤在作物生产系统和生态系统服务中起着至关重要的作用。提供水,营养素,和物理锚定作物生长。尽管植物和土壤科学取得了进步，我们对地下植物-土壤相互作用的理解，影响作物性能和土壤健康，仍然有限。这里,我们认为，缺乏对这些植物-土壤相互作用的理解阻碍了作物的可持续生产。我们建议，有针对性的作物和土壤工程可以提供一个新的方法来实现更高的产量，更有效的可持续作物生产，改善土壤健康。
