ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to genetic-engineering of plants for enhanced oxygen assimilation and utilization. More particularly, this invention relates to producing transgenic plants engineered to express oxygen-binding proteins such as, for example, hemoglobin, myoglobin, and hemoproteins. The engineered plants of the invention achieve quicker germination, are faster growing or maturing crops, produce higher crop yields, and/or contain higher levels of desired plant metabolites, particularly alkaloids.
