Materials and Methods for identifying lignin regulatory region-regulatory protein associations are disclosed. Materials and methods for modulating lignin accumulation are also disclosed. In addition, methods and materials for modulating (e.g., increasing or decreasing) the level of a component (e.g., protein, oil, lignin, carbon, a carotenoid, or a triterpenoid) in plants are disclosed.

Modulating the level of components within plants

Methods and materials for modulating (e.g., increasing or decreasing) oil levels in plants are disclosed. For example, nucleic acids encoding oil-modulating polypeptides are disclosed as well as methods for using such nucleic acids to transform plant cells. Also disclosed are plants having increased oil levels and plant products produced from plants having increased oil levels.
