Developing more productive and sustainable crops will be essential to achieving food security in coming decades. A core process in plant evolution has been the transfer of chloroplast-encoded genes to the nuclear genome. We propose reverting this process as a new approach to improve plant disease resistance and photosynthesis in future crops.
在未来几十年里,培育更具生产力和可持续性的作物对于实现粮食安全至关重要。植物进化的一个核心过程是叶绿体编码基因向核基因组的转移。我们提出逆转这一过程,作为一种提高未来作物抗病性和光合作用的新方法。
