Abstract
The present invention provides for a genetically modified plant or plant cell comprising a nucleic acid encoding a S-adenosylmethionine hydrolase (AdoMetase) operatively linked to a tissue-specific secondary wall promoter such that there is a specific increased expression of AdoMetase in a secondary cell wall synthesizing tissue when compared secondary cell wall promoter expression compared to corresponding unmodified plant cells.
