Plants having enhanced yield-related traits and a method for making the same

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 AP2-2 polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding an AP2-2 polypeptide, which plan...

Zusammenfassung: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 AP2-2 polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding an AP2-2 polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants. The present invention further concerns a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding an APETELA2-70-like (AP2-70-like) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding an AP2-70-like polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention also provides hitherto unknown NAC, AP2-2 and AP2-70-like-encoding nucleic acids, and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the methods of the invention. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention.
