Leghemoglobin
A hemoglobin-like oxygen-binding hemeprotein present in the nitrogen-fixing root nodules of leguminous plants. The red pigment has a molecular weight approximately 1/4 that of hemoglobin and has been suggested to act as an oxido-reduction catalyst in symbiotic nitrogen fixation.

- " The lack of NFs within the infection threads was confirmed by the absence of expression of an early NF-induced marker, leghemoglobin 6 of S. " 01/01/1987
- " The content of leghemoglobin, first detectable approximately 3 weeks after infection, increased up to 6-7 weeks, and then it remained at the same level until 8-9 weeks after the infection. " 09/01/1996
- " Although leghemoglobin synthesis was not detected, infection-specific nodulin transcripts of GmN93 and ENOD55 were detected. " 10/01/1988
- " The expression of genes for the nodulins, including leghemoglobin, is independent of the nitrogen-fixing ability of the nodule and appears to correlate with the differentiation of densely cytoplasmic host cells in the nodule and, to some extent, with bacterial release from infection threads." 01/01/1984
- " Thus, leghemoglobin and nodulin genes are switched on soon after infection, prior to nodule morphogenesis, and the switch occurs prior to and is independent of nitrogen fixation activity. "
