摘要:

元素作为物质的基本组成,广泛存在于植物、动物、食用菌、种子、化肥、农药、饲料以及农业生态环境中,深刻影响农业生产和环境质量。本综述就农业生产和可持续发展过程对元素合理利用与科学调控的需求,提出农业元素组学的概念,该领域聚焦农业生物和媒介中元素的存在、浓度、分布、形态和形式等信息,揭示元素在农业生产中的作用及其与其他因子(如基因组、代谢组等)的相互作用机制。因此,农业元素组学的研究不仅限于单一元素,而是聚焦于多元素之间的相互关系及其对作物生长、食品安全、环境污染等方面的综合影响。为了揭示农业元素组学的内在和相互作用机制,不可或缺地需要元素感知技术手段。因此,本文重点以农业元素组学的分析技术为切入点,对基于光谱、质谱、能谱、色谱以及同步辐射原理的元素超灵敏和高通量分析、元素形态分析、空间和微量分析等技术进行综述,详细讨论这些技术在农业样品中的应用优势和挑战,并对未来发展前景予以展望。未来对于农业元素组学的发展,技术上应重点发展具有更高抗干扰能力、更广元素种类覆盖的技术体系,突破高分辨率同位素分析、固体进样和无损分析的关键瓶颈,深化对元素化学种类和形态、相关分子簇和大分子配合物的解析;同时推动分析技术向微/纳米颗粒或微/细结构甚至单细胞或亚细胞尺度迈进,并深度融合人工智能算法以优化数据处理和解析效率。在农业应用上,应推动元素组学分析技术与基因组、转录组、蛋白组、代谢组、脂质组等多组学相关技术的系统性整合,通过构建跨组学关联网络,结合多组学的技术优势,共同回答农业领域元素驱动的生命科学问题,最终服务于作物遗传改良、营养调控、污染溯源、农产品质量安全等多方面的应用,为农业可持续发展的战略需求提供核心的科学支撑。

Abstract:

Elements are fundamental constituents of matter, ubiquitous across agricultural systems-from crops and livestock to inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides-with profound implications for productivity and environmental quality. Responding to the need for precise element management in sustainable agriculture, this review proposed “Agroelementomics” as an interdisciplinary field. Agroelementomics characterizes the presence, concentration, distribution, and speciation of elements within agricultural organisms and matrices. It seeks to decode their roles in agricultural processes and their interactions with other omics layers, such as the genome and metabolome. Thus, its scope extends beyond individual elements to encompass the interplay of multiple elements and their collective impact on crop growth, food safety, and environmental health. Deciphering these complex interactions requires advanced elemental analysis. This review focused on analytical techniques for Agroelementomics, surveying cutting-edge methods- including spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and synchrotron-based approaches-for ultra-sensitive, high-throughput elemental analysis, and their applications, advantages, and limitations in analyzing agricultural samples and outline future directions were discussed. The future advancement of Agroelementomics hinges on creating more robust analytical frameworks with greater interference resistance and wider elemental coverage. Critical breakthroughs are needed in high-resolution isotope analysis, direct solid sampling, non-destructive techniques, and the characterization of elemental species and macromolecular complexes. Pushing the resolution to micro/nano and even single-cell levels, coupled with integrating artificial intelligence for data processing, would be pivotal. In application, agroelementomics must be integrated with other omics platforms (e.g., genomics, proteomics, metabolomics). By building cross-omics networks and leveraging their combined strengths, those fundamental questions in agricultural biology were addressed. Ultimately, this integration would be key to advancing crop breeding, nutrient management, pollution source tracking, and food quality safety, thereby providing a scientific foundation for sustainable agriculture.
