Abstract
Expression of laccase in plants at commercial levels of production is provided. The laccase gene is preferably operably linked with promoter sequences preferentially directing expression of laccase to the seed of the plant, and may additionally include sequences directing expression to the plant cell wall. Methods of improving the process of introducing DNA into plants via Agrobacterium are also provided.
