A plant that makes oxygen would be a very neat thing for botanists to grow, tator just bombed the station and the newly repaired room just needs oxygen? Slap one of these plants in and it'll fill it back up with fresh o2, it'll give botany a way to help engineering and let experienced botanists keep their department safe from lack of o2.

This has been suggested before.
Can't find it, but it recommended things like Trees to be able to generate O2 over time.
Or other plants.

Actually, this DOES exist, in a way. Botanists can make Buttbot plants, which when harvested, will yield buttbots (shocking, I know). They're a bit of a pain to get, but I've seen it be done before, and you can get a lot of the little guys roaming around with some effort.
Buttbots actually fart out Oxygen and can be used to repressurize parts of the station. Now, whether or not buttbots are actually effective in repressurizing the station is a different question, and I haven't played around enough with them to give a good answer.
That said, another option for a plant that generates oxygen as its main function could be neat.

Thats actually hilarious, ill try to test how good they are later
