Abstract
The present invention provides for a method of engineering a plant having an increased content of a target compound in the plant's seed, the method comprising introducing into the plant a first nucleic acid construct that encodes a seed-specific promoter operatively linked to a transcription factor wherein expression of the transcription factor increases the production of the target compound. A genetically modified plant cell engineered by the method.

A method of engineering a plant having an increased content of a target compound in the plant's seed, the method comprising introducing into the plant a first nucleic acid construct that encodes a seed-specific promoter operatively linked to a transcription factor wherein expression of the transcription factor increases the production of the target compound.
A genetically modified plant cell, comprising a first nucleic acid construct that encodes a seed-specific promoter operatively linked to a transcription factor wherein expression of the transcription factor increases the production of the target compound.
A genetically modified plant or seed comprising a first nucleic acid construct that encodes a seed-specific promoter operatively linked to a transcription factor wherein expression of the transcription factor increases the production of the target compound.
