Plant Hemoglobins

  • Chapter
Blood and Tissue Oxygen Carriers

Part of the book series: Advances in Comparative and Environmental Physiology ((COMPARATIVE,volume 13))

Abstract

Like other forms of life, plants contain heme proteins. But in addition to heme proteins such as cytochromes, peroxidases, catalases, oxidases, and oxygenases, some plants contain hemoglobins: heme proteins that appear to function by binding O2 reversibly. The first reports of O2-binding heme proteins in N2-fixing legume root nodules appeared in the late 1930s and the 1940s (Kubo 1939; Keilin and Wang 1945; Virtanen 1945; Little and Burris 1947). Because for many decades the only reproducibly reported plant hemoglobins were found within the specialized symbiotic tissues of N2-fixing legume nodules, plant hemoglobins were named leghemoglobins, as proposed by Virtanen and Laine (1946). The generally used term leghemoglobin is synonymous with the Chemical Abstracts indexing term legoglobin proposed by Bauer and Mortimer (1960), and both terms are abbreviated Lb, first used by Appleby (1962). The name leghemoglobin persists, even though there is now convincing evidence that some nonleguminous plants also contain hemoglobins within their N2-fixing nodules. In this review the term leghemoglobin will refer only to legume hemoglobins. The term hemoglobin, preceded by a genus name, will refer to nonlegume hemoglobins. Standard abbreviations used herein, in addition to Lb, are Hb (hemoglobin) and Mb (myoglobin).
