Plant microbiomes, composed of a diverse array of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, archaea, and microalgae, are critical to plant health and resilience, playing key roles in nutrient cycling, stress mitigation, and disease resistance. Climate change is expected to intensify various abiotic stressors, such as drought, salinity, temperature extremes, nutrient deficiencies, and heavy metal toxicity. Plant-associated microbiomes have emerged as a promising natural solution to help mitigate these stresses and enhance agricultural resilience. However, translating laboratory findings into real-world agricultural benefits remains a significant challenge due to the complexity of plant-microbe interactions under field conditions. We explore the roles of plant microbiomes in combating abiotic stress and discuss advances in microbiome engineering strategies, including synthetic biology, microbial consortia design, metagenomics, and CRISPR-Cas, with a focus on enhancing their practical application in agriculture. Integrating microbiome-based solutions into climate-smart agricultural practices may contribute to long-term sustainability. Finally, we underscore the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in overcoming existing challenges. Microbiome-based solutions hold promise for improving global food security and promoting sustainable agricultural practices in the face of climate change.
植物微生物群由细菌、真菌、古菌和微藻等多种微生物组成,对植物健康和恢复力至关重要,在养分循环、减轻胁迫和抗病性方面发挥着关键作用。预计气候变化将加剧各种非生物胁迫因素,如干旱、盐碱化、极端温度、养分缺乏和重金属毒性。与植物相关的微生物群已成为一种有前景的天然解决方案,有助于减轻这些胁迫并增强农业恢复力。然而,由于田间条件下植物与微生物相互作用的复杂性,将实验室研究结果转化为实际农业效益仍然是一项重大挑战。我们探讨了植物微生物群在应对非生物胁迫中的作用,并讨论了微生物群工程策略的进展,包括合成生物学、微生物群落设计、宏基因组学和CRISPR-Cas,重点是增强它们在农业中的实际应用。将基于微生物群的解决方案纳入气候智能型农业实践可能有助于实现长期可持续性。最后,我们强调跨学科合作在克服现有挑战方面的重要性。面对气候变化,基于微生物群的解决方案有望改善全球粮食安全并促进可持续农业实践。
