In light of extensive urbanization and deforestation, toxic wastes are being released into the atmosphere, causing increased air and soil pollution. Conventional methods of soil remediation are time consuming and labor and cost intensive, rendering them uneconomical to maintain sustainable agriculture. One solution is to use natural resources like plants and microbes for phytoremediation. A thorough systemic knowledge of plant-microbe interactions will allow the use of gene editing and gene manipulation techniques to increase the efficiency of plants in phytoremediation. This Opinion article focuses on gene editing techniques used in plants and microbes for phytoremediation and also emphasizes their effectiveness, advancement, and future implications for sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture.
鉴于广泛的城市化和森林砍伐，有毒废物被释放到大气中，导致空气和土壤污染加剧。传统的土壤修复方法耗时耗力，成本高昂，因此在维持可持续农业方面不具有经济性。一种解决方案是利用植物和微生物等自然资源进行植物修复。深入了解植物-微生物相互作用的系统知识将允许使用基因编辑和基因操作技术来提高植物在植物修复中的效率。本观点文章重点介绍了用于植物和微生物修复的基因编辑技术，并强调了它们在可持续和环保农业方面的有效性、进展和未来意义。
