摘要:
The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing yield-related traits and/or improving various plant growth characteristics by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a GRP (Growth Regulating Protein). The GRP is selected from a LOB-domain comprising protein (LOB: Lateral Organ Boundaries), herein abbreviated as LBD polypeptide, a JMJC (JUMONJI-C) polypeptide, a CKI (Casein Kinase I) polypeptide, a bHLH11-like (basic Helix-Loop-Helix 11) protein, a plant homeodomain finger-homeodomain (PHDf-HD) polypeptide, an ASR (abscisic acid-, stress-, and ripening-induced) polypeptide and/or a Squamosa promoter binding protein-like 1 1 (SPL11) transcription factor polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a GRP, which plants have improved growth characteristics relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides novel GRP nucleic acids and GRP polypeptides as well as constructs useful in the methods of the invention.

The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for increasing plant yield relative to control plants. More specifically, the present invention concerns a method for increasing plant yield comprising increasing expression in a plant of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a MYB (DNA-binding) domain transcription factor (MYB-TF) polypeptide. In a particular embodiment, the present invention concerns a method for increasing plant yield comprising preferentially increasing expression of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a MYB-TF polypeptide, in the endosperm of a plant seed. The present invention also concerns plants having increased expression of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a MYB-TF polypeptide, as well as plants having preferentially increased expression of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a MYB-TF polypeptide in the endosperm of seeds, which plants have increased yield relative to control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention.

The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing various economically important yield-related traits in plants. More specifically, the present invention concerns a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a HAB1 (Hypersensitive to ABA1) polypeptide or a KELP polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a HAB1 polypeptide or a KELP polypeptide, which have enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention also provides hitherto unknown HAB1-encoding nucleic acids, and constructs comprising HAB1 or KELP-encoding nucleic acids, useful in performing the methods of the invention.

The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of one or more nucleic acid(s) encoding at least two iSYT (inter-actor of SYT-synovial sarcoma translocation-) polypeptides. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding at least two iSYT polypeptides, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides hitherto unknown nucleic acids encoding at least two iSYT polypeptides, and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the methods of the invention. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention. Furthermore the present invention also relates to an iSYT-based protein complex. It further relates to the use of the complex to promote plant growth, and to a method for stimulating the complex formation, by overexpressing at least two members of the complex.
