Embodiment Construction

[0213] Surprisingly, it has now been found that modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding an ASPAT polypeptide gives plants having improved yield-related traits relative to control plants. According to a first embodiment, the present invention provides a method for improving yield-related traits in plants relative to control plants, comprising modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding an ASPAT polypeptide and optionally selecting plants with improved yield-related traits .

[0214]Still surprisingly, it has now been found that increasing expression in a plant of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a MYB91 polypeptide as defined herein gives plants having increased yield-related traits relative to control plants. According to yet another embodiment, the present invention provides a method for improving yield-related traits in plants relative to control plants, comprising increasing expression in a plant of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a MYB9...

Abstract

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 an ASPAT (Asparatate AminoTransferase) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding an ASPAT polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention also provides hitherto unknown ASPAT-encoding nucleic acids and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the methods of the invention. Furthermore, the present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for increasing various plant yield-related traits by increasing expression in a plant of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a MYB91 like transcription factor (MYB91 ) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having increased expression of a nucleic acid sequence encoding an MYB91 polypeptide, which plants have increased yield- related traits relative to control plants. The invention additionally relates to nucleic acid sequences, nucleic acid constructs, vectors and plants containing said nucleic acid sequences. Even furthermore, the present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for improving various plant growth characteristics by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a GASA (Gibberellic Acid-Stimulated Arabidopsis). The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a GASA, which plants have improved growth characteristics relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention. Yet furthermore, 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 an AUX / IAA (auxin / indoleacetic acid) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding IAA polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention also provides constructs comprising AUX / IAA-encoding nucleic acids, useful in performing the methods of the invention.
