PLANTS HAVING ONE OR MORE ENHANCED YIELD-RELATED TRAITS AND A METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

A method for enhancing one or more yield-related traits in plants relative to control plants comprises modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a PAE1 (pectin acetylesterase) polypeptide. PAE1-encoding nucleic acids, and constructs comprising the same, are used in performing the method, and plants having one or more enhanced yield-related traits are obtained.
