Abstract

See full text

The present invention concerns a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a PATL (PATELLIN) polypeptide, or a PRP38 (Precursor RNA Processing factor 38) polypeptide, or an ADA2 (Adaptor 2) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns a method for increasing Thousand Kernel Weight, total weight of seeds and/or number of filled seeds, by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a GATA-like polypeptide. The invention also concerns a method for increasing various plant yield-related traits by, increasing expression in a plant of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a WD40 repeat (WDR) 23-like polypeptide. The invention also provides hitherto unknown PATL nucleic acids and constructs useful in the methods of the invention.
