Embodiment Construction

[0252]It has now surprisingly been found that modulating expression in plants of a nucleic acid encoding a C3H-like polypeptide gives plants having enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants. According to a first embodiment, the present invention provides a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants relative to control plants, comprising modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a C3H-like polypeptide and optionally selecting plants with enhanced yield-related traits.

[0253] Furthermore, it has now surprisingly been found that modulating expression in plants of a nucleic acid encoding a SPT-like polypeptide gives plants having enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants. According to a first embodiment, the present invention provides a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants relative to control plants, comprising modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a SPT-like polypeptide and optionally s...

Abstract

The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing various yield-related traits and/or plant growth characteristics in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a C3H-like polypeptide, or a SPATULA-like (SPT) polypeptide, or an IDI2 (Iron Deficiency Induced 2) polypeptide, or an elF4F-like protein complex subunit, or GR-RBP (Glycine Rich-RNA Binding Protein) polypeptide.; The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression and/or activity of a nucleic acid encoding a C3H-like polypeptide, or a SPATULA-like (SPT) polypeptide, or an IDI2 (Iron Deficiency Induced 2) polypeptide, or an elF4F-like protein complex subunit, or GR-RBP (Glycine Rich-RNA Binding Protein) polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits and/or plant growth characteristics relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and relates to methods for enhancing various yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in plants of nucleic acids encoding C3H-like polypeptides. The present invention also relates to plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a C3H-like polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to corresponding wild-type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides constructs that can be used in the methods of the invention. [0002] The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and relates to methods for enhancing various yield-related traits by modulating expression in plants of nucleic acids encoding SPATULA-like (SPT) polypeptides. The present invention also relates to plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a SPT-like polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-rela...
