Abstract Sustainable production of high-quality food is one of today’s major challenges of agriculture. To achieve this goal, a better understanding of plant physiological processes and a more integrated approach with respect to current agronomical practices are needed. In this review, various examples of cooperation between integrative plant physiology and agronomy are discussed, and this demonstrates the complexity of these interrelations. The examples are meant to stimulate discussions on how both research areas can deliver solutions to avoid looming food crises due to population growth and climate change. In the last decades, unprecedented progress has been made in the understanding of how plants grow and develop in a variety of environments and in response to biotic stresses, but appropriate management and interpretation of the resulting complex datasets remains challenging. After providing an historical overview of integrative plant physiology, we discuss possible avenues of integration, involving advances in integrative plant physiology, to sustain plant production in the current post-omics era. Finally, recommendations are provided on how to practice the transdisciplinary mindset required, emphasising a broader approach to sustainable production of high-quality food in the future, whereby all those who are involved are made partners in knowledge generation processes through transdisciplinary cooperation.

将综合植物生理学与农学联系起来以维持未来的植物生产

摘要 高质量食品的可持续生产是当今农业面临的主要挑战之一。为了实现这一目标，需要更好地了解植物生理过程，并针对当前的农艺实践采取更加综合的方法。在这篇综述中，讨论了综合植物生理学和农学之间合作的各种例子，这证明了这些相互关系的复杂性。这些例子旨在激发关于这两个研究领域如何提供解决方案以避免由于人口增长和气候变化而迫在眉睫的粮食危机的讨论。在过去的几十年里，在了解植物如何在各种环境中生长和发育以及如何应对生物胁迫方面取得了前所未有的进展，但是对由此产生的复杂数据集进行适当的管理和解释仍然具有挑战性。在提供综合植物生理学的历史概述之后，我们讨论了可能的整合途径，包括综合植物生理学的进步，以在当前的后组学时代维持植物生产。最后，就如何实践所需的跨学科思维方式提出了建议，强调了未来可持续生产高质量食品的更广泛方法，所有参与者都通过跨学科合作成为知识生成过程的合作伙伴。在当前的后组学时代维持植物生产。最后，就如何实践所需的跨学科思维方式提出了建议，强调了未来可持续生产高质量食品的更广泛方法，所有参与者都通过跨学科合作成为知识生成过程的合作伙伴。在当前的后组学时代维持植物生产。最后，就如何实践所需的跨学科思维方式提出了建议，强调了未来可持续生产高质量食品的更广泛方法，所有参与者都通过跨学科合作成为知识生成过程的合作伙伴。
