Described herein are compositions and methods relating to genetically modified plants and their production genetically modified plants. In certain aspects, genetically modified plants described herein have increased wax ester packaging from the endoplasmic reticulum into lipid droplets in the cytoplasm of the cells. In certain aspects, compositions and methods described herein can engineer genetic modifications in plants including a modified lipid droplet-associated protein (LDAP) gene and systems and methods for modifying the LDAP gene in a plant.
