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

摘要

Provided is a method for enhancing one or more yield-related traits in a plant by modulating expression in the plant of a nucleic acid encoding an ANAC055 (Arabidopsis No Apical Meristem, Arabidopsis Transcription Factor, Cup-shaped Cotyledon) polypeptide. Also provided are plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding an ANAC055 polypeptide, which plants have one or more enhanced yield-related traits compared with control plants. Further provided are hitherto unknown ANAC055-encoding nucleic acids, and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the method.
