The homeobox gene GLABRA2 affects seed oil content in Arabidopsis.

...... or development. The high-oil phenotype is caused by the disruption of the GLABRA2 gene, a previously identified gene that encodes a homeobox protein required for normal trichome and root hair development. Knockout of GLABRA2 did not affect LEAFY COTYLEDON 1 and PICKLE expression in developing embryo. The result indicates that in addition to its known function in trichome and root hair development, GLABRA2 is involved in the control of seed oil accumulation. ......

West M, Yee KM, Danao J, Zimmerman JL, Fischer RL, Goldberg RB, Harada JJ. Plant Cell. 1994 Dec;6(12):1731-1745.

...... LEAFY COTYLEDON1 (LEC1) is an embryo defective mutation that affects cotyledon identity in Arabidopsis. Mutant cotyledons possess trichomes that are normally a leaf trait in Arabidopsis, and the cellular organization of these organs is intermediate ......
