Abstract:
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.
