So that tells us we might be able to even combine within a trait and get even more suberin.

所以这告诉我们，我们甚至可以在一个特征中结合并获得更多的木栓素。

And so it turns out that plants make this product, and it's called suberin.

结果证明是植物制造了这种产品，它被称为木栓质。

Those are the three traits we want to change: more suberin, more roots, and the last one, deep roots.

这是我们想要改变的三个特征：更多的木栓质，更多的根，最后一个，深根。

So the suberin will break up into little particles and give the whole soil a new texture.

所以木栓质会分解成小颗粒，并赋予整个土壤新的质地。

And suberin is really cool, because as you can see there, I hope, everywhere you see a black dot, that's a carbon.

木栓质真的很酷， 因为正如你在那里看到的那样，我希望你看到的每个黑点都是碳。

We have to get plants to make more suberin than they normally make, because we need them to be a little better than what they are.

我们必须让植物产生比正常情况下更多的木栓质，因为我们需要它们比现在好一点。

Cork contains a high level of suberin, a waterproof waxy substance found in most plants that prevents roots from decomposing. It's this quality that scientists hope to use to keep carbon buried underground and well to save the world.

软木含有高含量的软木脂，它是一种防水的蜡状物质，存在于大多数植物中，能够防止根分解。科学家们希望利用这种特性将碳埋在地下，从而保护世界环境。

We have to get them to make more roots, because if we make more roots, we can make more suberin -- now we have more of the cells that suberin likes to accumulate in.

我们必须让它们长出更多的根， 因为如果我们长出更多的根，我们就能制造出更多的木栓质——现在我们有了更多的细胞， 木栓质喜欢在其中积累。
