Claims

The invention provides a method for increasing oil production in the seed of a plant relative to that of a control plant, without significantly decreasing seed yield, by ectopically expressing an oil-synthesizing enzyme and an oil-encapsulating protein in the plant endosperm, and optionally, by ectopically expressing an oil-synthesizing enzyme and an oil-encapsulating protein in the green tissues of the plant. The invention also provides plants and seeds produced or selected using the methods, and processing methods for transforming the seeds into oil and co-products.
