ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method of producing a wax ester in a plant cell whereby a plant cell having a fatty acyl reductase expressed from a sequence heterologous to said plant is grown in the absence of a wax synthase expressed from a sequence which is heterologous to the plant. The invention also provides plant cells containing wax ester.
