Plant breeding is one of the oldest and most important activities accompanying human civilization. During the past thousand years, plant breeding has achieved three significant innovations, each of which derives from introgression of new theories or technologies. These innovations have significantly increased the food supply and allowed for population development. However, with population increases and resource shortages, the world is continuously facing the challenge of food security, which calls for next innovation in plant breeding. Recent technological advances in multiple disciplines have boosted the development of omics, which is accelerating plant breeding. Here, we review the recent advances in omics and discuss our understanding of how interdisciplinary researches will prompt new innovations in plant breeding.

植物育种是人类文明发展以来最古老的，也是最重要的活动之一。在过去的一千年里，植物育种取得了三项重大创新，每一项创新都源自于新理论或新技术的突破。这些创新大大增加了全球的粮食供应，促进了人口的发展。然而，随着人口增长和资源短缺，全球不断面临着粮食安全的挑战，这要求植物育种需要持续不断的创新。最近多学科的技术进步促进了组学的发展，而这正在加速植物育种。本文中，作者回顾了组学的最新进展，并讨论了目前对跨学科研究如何推动植物育种新创新的理解。
