Using Microbial Community Interactions within Plant Microbiomes to Advance an Evergreen Agricultural Revolution

摘要: Abstract Innovative plant breeding and technology transfer fostered the Green Revolution (GR), which transformed agriculture worldwide by increasing grain yields in developing countries. The GR temporarily alleviated world hunger, but also reduced biodiversity, nutrient cycling, carbon (C) sequestration that agricultural lands can provide. Meanwhile, economic disparity food insecurity within among countries continues. Subsequent advances, focused on objectives such as crop or reducing risk of a specific pest, have failed to meet demands at local scale restore lost ecosystem services. An human population, climate change, growing per capita energy demands, potential provide agriculturally relevant services created an unrelenting need for improved production practices. Meeting this sustainable fashion will require interdisciplinary approaches integrate microbial ecology with efforts advance while mitigating effects changing climate. Metagenomic advances are revealing dynamics simultaneously improve soil restoration enhancing resistance
