Claim:
1. A gene expression cassette which enhances content of biofuel synthesis precursors in plant biomass, as compared to unmodified plants not comprising said cassette, wherein the gene expression cassette comprises: a) at least one plant expressible transcription regulating nucleotide sequence, wherein the transcription regulating nucleotide sequence is: i) a constitutive promoter; ii) an inducible promoter; iii) a tissue-specific promoter; iv) a developmentally regulated promoter; v) a nucleotide sequence which is the complement or reverse complement of any of the previously mentioned nucleotide sequences under i) to iv), and functionally linked thereto; or vi) a combination thereof; and b) a gene encoding sucrose isomerase (SI) comprising SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the transcription regulating nucleotide sequence and the gene encoding sucrose isomerase are operably linked.
