科学家转基因小麦来修补自己的氮,减少对合成肥料的需求。 Scientists genetically modified wheat to fix its own nitrogen, reducing need for synthetic fertilizers.

科学家成功地设计了小麦来修补自己的氮气,有可能减少对合成肥料的需求。 Scientists have successfully engineered wheat to fix its own nitrogen, potentially reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. 这一突破是通过基因改变取得的,使作物能够与固氮细菌形成共生关系,模仿豆类中的自然过程。 The breakthrough, achieved through genetic modification, allows the crop to form symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, mimicking natural processes seen in legumes. 早期试验显示,在改善土壤健康和降低农业排放量方面有希望。 Early trials show promise in improving soil health and lowering agricultural emissions. 研究可以改变可持续的耕作方式,尽管大规模应用仍要多年。 The research could transform sustainable farming, though large-scale application remains years away.
