Abstract
Although derivatives of haematin are very widely, if not universally, distributed in plants their concentrations are always low; much lower in fact than in animal tissues. The available information suggests that haematin occurs in combination with specific proteins while some of these “haemoproteins” function as intracellular catalysts. Their occurrence may be extremely wide (e. g. cytochromes) or narrowly restricted to certain specialized types of cell (e. g. haemoglobins in root nodules of leguminous plants).
