Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods of producing heme proteins in transgenic plants, plant tissues, or plant cells, as well as describing the expression of these heme proteins in seeds. Also, the present disclosure provides transgenic plants expressing the heme proteins, myoglobin and hemoglobin, by introducing and integrating the recombinant DNA constructs into the host genetic material of the subject plants. The specific combination of regulatory elements disclosed herein allows for high heme protein expression level in seeds.
