Abstract
In an agroecosystem, plants and microbes coexist and interact with environmental factors such as climate, soil, and pests. However, agricultural practices that depend on chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and frequent tillage often disrupt the beneficial interactions in the agroecosystem. To reconcile the improvement of crop performance and reduction in environmental impacts in agriculture, we need to understand the functions of the complex interactions and develop an agricultural system that can maximize the potential benefits of the agroecosystem. Therefore, we are developing a system called the agroecosystem engineering system, which aims to optimize the interactions between crops, microbes, and environmental factors, using multi-omics analysis. This review first summarizes the progress and examples of omics approaches, including multi-omics analysis, to reveal complex interactions in the agroecosystem. The latter half of this review discusses the prospects of data analysis approaches in the agroecosystem engineering system, including causal network analysis and predictive modeling.
