Abstract
A method of increasing methionine and/or methionine related metabolites in a plant is provided. The method is effected by expressing within the plant a cystathionine γ-synthase encoded by a polynucleotide mutated in, or lacking, a region encoding an N-terminal portion of said cystathionine γ-synthase, said region being functional in downregulating an activity of said cystathionine γ-synthase in the plant.
