Claim Text:
1. A process for producing non-polar lipid in a plant part, the process comprising a step of expressing in the plant part one or more exogenous polynucleotides which encode at least Wrinkled 1 (WRI1) and diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT), wherein co-expression of WRI1 and DGAT has an effect on non-polar lipid accumulation in the plant part that is larger than an additive effect of the individual effects of each of WRI1 and DGAT expressed alone, and wherein the plant part further comprises a reduced level of TAG lipase relative to a corresponding wild-type plant part.
