The invention relates to methods for increasing the oil content in plants, preferably in plant seeds, by expressing the Ypr140w polypeptide from yeast or corresponding polypeptides from plants. The invention furthermore relates to expression constructs for expressing the yeast polypeptide Ypr140w or corresponding polypeptides from plants in plants, preferably in plant seeds, the transgenic plants expressing the polypeptide and to the use of said transgenic plants for the production of food, feed, seed, pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals, in particular for the production of oils.

L'invention concerne des procédés pour augmenter la teneur en huile de certaines plantes, de préférence de semences végétales, par l'expression du polypeptide Ypr140w de la levure ou des polypeptides correspondants des plantes. La présente invention porte également sur des constructions d'expression dans les plantes pour exprimer le polypeptide Ypr140w de la levure ou des polypeptides correspondants des plantes, de préférence de semences végétales, les plantes transgéniques exprimant le polypeptide. Cette invention concerne aussi l'utilisation de ces plantes transgéniques dans la production d'aliments pour les humains, d'aliments pour les animaux, de semences, de produits pharmaceutiques et de produits de chimie fine, en particulier pour la production d'huiles.
