Abstract: Expression of a recombinant manganese-dependent peroxidase in plants is described. Methods for the recovery of transgenic corn seeds that express high levels of functional manganese-dependent peroxidase are also provided. Manganese-dependent peroxidase vectors are engineered to contain sequences directing seed-preferred expression as well as sequences for cell wall-targeted localization.
