The identification of nitric oxide-bound leghaemoglobin within soya bean nodules has led to the question of how Brodium japonicum bacteroids overcome the toxicity of this nitric oxide. it has previously been shown that one candidate for nitric oxide detoxification, the respiratory nitric oxide reductase, is expressed in soya bean nodules from plants supplied with nitrate [Mesa, de Dios Alche, Bedmar and Delgado (2004) Physiol. Plant. 120, 205-211]. In this paper, the role of this enzyme in nitric oxide detoxification is assessed and discussion is provided on other possible B. japonicum nitric oxide detoxification systems.
