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...

The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and to methods for improving various economically important yield-related traits in plants. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for improving yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding an ASPAT (aspartate aminotransferase) polypeptide. The present invention also relates to plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding an ASPAT polypeptide, which plants have improved yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention also provides hitherto unknown ASPAT-encoding nucleic acids and constructs comprising such nucleic acids useful in practicing the methods of the invention. Furthermore, the present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and to methods for improving various yield-related traits in plants by increasing expression in plants of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a MYB91-like transcription factor (MYB91 ) polypeptide. The present invention also relates to plants having increased expression of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a MYB91 polypeptide, which plants have improved yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention furthermore relates to nucleic acid sequences, nucleic acid constructs, vectors and plants comprising said nucleic acid sequences. In addition, the present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and to methods for improving various plant growth characteristics by modulating expression in plants of nucleic acids encoding GASA (Gibberellin-stimulated Arabidopsis). The present invention also relates to plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding 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. In addition, the present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and to methods for improving various economically important yield-related traits in plants. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for improving yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in plants of a nucleic acid encoding an AUX / IAA (auxin / indole acetic acid) polypeptide. The present invention also relates to plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding an IAA polypeptide, which plants have improved yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention also provides constructs comprising an AUX / IAA-encoding nucleic acid useful in practicing the methods of the invention.
