Seed oil accumulation is orchestrated by complicated multi-level networks, with transcriptional regulation playing pivotal roles in this process. However, the mechanism underlying how transcription factors (TFs) and their regulatory network regulate oil accumulation in seeds is not completely understood to date. In this study, we identified two TFs, basic helix-loop-helix112 (bHLH112) and ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA MERISTEM LAYER1 (ATML1), which are highly expressed in developing embryos and act as ke
