ISOLATED POLYNUCLEOTIDES AND POLYPEPTIDES, AND METHODS OF USING SAME FOR INCREASING PLANT YIELD AND/OR AGRICULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

Provided are isolated polynucleotides which comprise a nucleic acid sequence at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO: 3487, 1-239, 467-1973, 3481-3486, 3488-3674, 3738 or 3739; isolated polypeptides which comprise an amino acid sequence at least 80% homologous to SEQ ID NO: 246, 240-245, 247-465, 1974-3480, 3675-3736 or 3737, and methods of using same for increasing a yield, biomass, growth rate, vigor, oil content, fiber yield, fiber quality, abiotic stress tolerance, and/or nitrogen use efficiency of a plant.

1. A method of increasing yield, biomass, growth rate, vigor, oil content, fiber yield, fiber quality, abiotic stress tolerance, and/or nitrogen use efficiency of a plant, comprising expressing within the plant an exogenous polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide which exhibits at least 80% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 333, 246, 240-245, 247-332, 334-465, 1974-3480, 3675-3736 or 3737, thereby increasing the yield, biomass, growth rate, vigor, oil content, fiber yield, fiber quality, abiotic stress tolerance, and/or nitrogen use efficiency of the plant.
