    Abstract: This invention is related to methods for producing a plant having improved/enhanced crop yield as compared to a corresponding wild type plant, such method comprising overexpression of a qPE9-1 gene and/or a Dense and Erect Panicle 1 (DEP1) gene. Provided are nucleic acids encoding for qPE9-1 and/or DEP1, and cells, progenies, seeds and pollen derived from such plants or parts, as well as methods of making and methods of using such plant cell(s) or plant(s), progenies, seed(s) or pollen. This invention relates generally to a crop plant with increased yield, preferably under condition of transient and repetitive stress as compared to a corresponding non-transformed wild type plant cell. This invention is also related to methods of producing and screening for and breeding such crop plants or plant cells.

    Abstract: Provided are methods, vectors and gene constructs for enhancing expression of a recombinant nucleic acid sequence in transgenic plants and plant tissues. According to the present invention, nucleic acid sequences are obtained and/or derived from the 3′ untranslated regions of Zea mays chlorophyll a/b binding protein gene and engineered to flank respective portions of a selected coding region of a vector. The vector construct may be introduced into plants and/or plant tissues through conventional or gene targeting procedures, resulting in enhanced expression of the selected coding region. In some embodiments, the selected coding region is a chimeric gene or gene fragment expressing one or more proteins known to impart a level of insecticidal activity to a transgenic plant and/or plant tissue.
