Abstract:

Siderophore produced by microbes and some crops in low-iron stress conditions is an organic compound in low molecular weight, which can combine ferric ion efficiently. Such material is an important bioactive substance and plays a key role in life metabolism. Otherwise, it is important to understand its function if it can be developed effectively. Therefore, the functions of siderophore in its biological control, toxicity, plant nutrition, acting carrier and other functions were reviewed, and the future directions of research were provided.
