The invention relates to a method for modifying the storage reserve content in plants, where leghemoglobin- and/or hemoglobin-expressing transformed plants are employed, to corresponding plants, and to their use.

Method for altering the content of reserve substances in plants

The invention relates to methods for increasing the oil content in plants, preferably in the seeds of plants, by expression of glycerol-3-phosphatdehydrogenases (G3PDH) from yeast, preferably from. The invention also relates to expression constructs for the expression of G3PDH yeast in plants, preferably in the seeds of plants, transgenic plants expressing G3PDH, and to the use of said transgenic plants in the production of foodstuffs, feed, seeds, pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals, especially in the production of oils.

Methods for increasing oil content in plants

The invention relates to transformed plants and their descendants, which have altered regulative sequences and/or number of gene copies of the ATP/ADP-translocator-gene in such a manner that they have one or more amino acids simultaneously in altered amounts in comparison with a non-transformed plants. The invention also relates to a method for the production of said plants in addition to their use as crop plants or in the animal feedstuffs industry.
