Does the circadian expression of leghemoglobins enable nodulating roots to solve the oxygen paradox?

Updated: 14 October 2026 
Legumes form symbiotic relationships with rhizobial bacteria, housing the bacteria in specialised root nodules and exchanging plant carbon for bacterially fixed nitrogen.The bacteria use a complex enzyme termed nitrogenase to fix nitrogen and the enzyme is very sensitive to high oxygen levels.
