Abstract: Phosphorus is a major nutrient-limiting factor in crops,and it is significant to solve the phosphorus limitation in crop by developing and utilizing the resources of soil organic phosphorus. Phytic acid acts as the major form of soil organic phosphorus,the process of its mineralization and releasing soil available phosphorus is an enzymatic reaction,and phytase is a key in this process. In present,phytase has showed great application potential in the sustainable development of agriculture. The advances of high-throughput sequencing technologies have provided new ideas and strategy on the study of soil phytase. Here,the diversity,production technique,the strategies of improving production as well as application situation in agriculture are summarized,the issues and the trends for future development of soil phytase are analyzed,and its application prospect is carried out as well.

Key words: phytase, high-throughput sequencing, utilization of phosphorus in soil, phytase gene
