Plants Having Enhanced Abiotic Stress Tolerance and/or Enhanced Yield-Related Traits and a Method for Making the Same

摘要

The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for increasing various plant yield-related traits by increasing expression in a plant of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a Brevis Radix-like (BRXL) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having increased expression of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a BRXL polypeptide, which plants have increased yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention additionally relates to nucleic acid sequences, nucleic acid constructs, vectors and plants containing said nucleic acid sequences.
