The present invention relates, inter alia, to vegetative plant parts, such as from asp. and/or aplant, which comprise a total fatty acid (TFA) content which comprises fatty acids esterified in the form of triacylglycerols (TAG) and fatty acids in the form of lipids other than TAG, wherein the vegetative plant parts comprise greatly increased levels of TFA, for example a TFA content of about 5% (w/w dry weight). The present invention also relates to the use of the vegetative plant parts as a feedstuff, and/or to produce a feedstuff, for animal consumption.

Plants with modified traits

The invention provides an improved method for transformation of sorghum and the production of genetically modified sorghum. In particular, methods and means are described for the production of high quality, transformable sorghum plant cells which are maintained in culture for longer duration without losing their regenerative potential and their use for genetic transformation. The method also describes the use of improved media for efficient plant regeneration from transformed plant cells, thereby providing significant improvement in the stable transformation frequency of sorghum.
