## Abstract

The present invention is directed to plants that display an altered oil content phenotype due to altered expression of a HIO1005 nucleic acid. The invention is further directed to methods of generating plants with an altered oil content phenotype.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of generating a plant having a high oil phenotype comprising identifying a plant that has an allele in its HIO1005 gene that results in increased oil content compared to plants lacking the allele and generating progeny of said identified plant, wherein the generated progeny inherit the allele and have the high oil phenotype.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 that employs candidate gene/QTL methodology.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 that employs TILLING methodology.
