The plant microbiota can complement host functioning, leading to improved growth and health under unfavorable conditions. Microbiome engineering could therefore become a transformative technique for crop production. Microbiome genes, abbreviated as M genes, provide valuable targets for shaping plant-associated microbial communities.
植物微生物组可以补充宿主的功能,从而在不利条件下促进生长和健康。因此,微生物组工程可能成为作物生产的一项变革性技术。微生物组基因,缩写为 M 基因,为塑造与植物相关的微生物群落提供了有价值的目标。
