Abstract
The present invention provides methods for modifying lignan content in plants by transforming plants with vectors containing a DNA sequence encoding one or more proteins integral to the phenylpropanoid pathway leading to G-lignan formation. Such coding sequences are expressed under the control of a seed tissue specific or seed developmental stage specific promoter. Expression of the DNA sequence results in a modification of the absolute and/or relative level of an intermediate metabolite leading to the production of G-lignans (e.g., secoisolariciresinol diglucoside or matairesinol).
