Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides, and methods of using same for increasing plant yield, biomass, vigor and/or growth rate of a plant

摘要

Provided are isolated polynucleotides which comprise a nucleic acid sequence at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO: 3487, or 7; isolated polypeptides which comprise an amino acid sequence at least 80% homologous to SEQ ID NO: 246, and and methods of using same for increasing a yield, biomass, growth rate, vigor, and/or oil content, of a plant.

1. A method of increasing a trait of a plant as compared to a non-transformed plant of the same species, the trait is selected from the group consisting of: rosette area, rosette diameter, and growth rate of rosette area, the method comprising:
(a) expressing within the plant an exogenous polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding the polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID NO: 246, wherein said exogenous polynucleotide is comprised within a nucleic acid construct and is operably linked to a plant promoter within said nucleic acid construct, and (b) selecting plants resulting from step (a) for an increased trait selected from the group consisting of: rosette area, rosette diameter, and growth rate of rosette area, as compared to a non-transformed plant of the same species which is grown under the same growth conditions, thereby increasing the trait of the plant as compared to a non-transformed plant of the same species.
