Methods are provided for producing plants and seeds having altered carotenoid compositions by transforming host plants with constructs having a transcriptional initiation region from a gene expressed in a plant seed, a plastid transit peptide, a DNA sequence derived from at least one carotenoid biosynthesis gene coding region, and a transcriptional termination region. The methods find particular use in increasing the carotenoid content in oilseed plants. |
