Abstract

Transgenic plant cells and plants are described which, compared to wildtype cells and plants, exhibit an increased yield, in particular, an increased oil and/or starch content and which preferably synthesize a modified starch. The described plants exhibit an increase or a decrease of the plastidial ADP/ATP translocator activity.
