ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein are zinc finger proteins that bind to target sites in a plant gamma-tocopherol methyl transferase (GMT) gene; compositions comprising these GMT-targeted zinc finger proteins and methods of making and using such zinc finger proteins. Also disclosed are methods for modulating the alpha-tocopherol content in various plant organs, particularly seeds, in transgenic plants.
