Embodiment Construction

[0254]It has now surprisingly been found that modulating expression in plants of a nucleic acid encoding a BET1-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 BET1-like polypeptide and optionally selecting plants with increased seed yield.

[0255] The present invention also provides heretofore unknown BET1-like encoding nucleic acids and BET1-like polypeptides.

[0256] According to one embodiment of the invention, there is thus provided an isolated nucleic acid molecule selected from:

[0257] (i) the nucleic acid shown in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 11 and 95;

[0258] (ii) the complementary sequence of the nucleic acid shown in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 11 and 95;

[0259] (iii) a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide ...

Abstract

The present application is directed to plants with improved properties where the expression of calreticulin, BET1-like polypeptides, DUS1-like polypeptides, ES43-like polypeptides, H0N5-like polypeptides or GSA1 polypeptides are modified. The improved property can be enhanced yield.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and relates to methods for enhancing yield-related traits by modulating expression in plants of a nucleic acid encoding a BET1-like polypeptide. The present invention also relates to plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a BET1-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 to practice the methods of the invention. [0002] The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and relates to methods for improving various plant growth characteristics by modulating the expression in plants of a nucleic acid encoding CRT (calreticulin). The present invention also relates to plants having regulated expression of a calreticulin-encoding nucleic acid, which plants have improved growth characteristics re...
