<p>The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for improving various plant growth characteristics by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a GS1 (Glutamine Synthase 1). The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a GS1, which plants have improved growth characteristics relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention.</p><p><Paragraphs id="pa02" num="0002" xmlns:base="http://www.sipo.gov.cn/XMLSchema/base">Furthermore, the present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing various plant yield-related traits by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a PEAMT (Phosphoethanolamine N-methyltransferase) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a PEAMT, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides hitherto unknown PEAMT-encoding nucleic acid sequences, and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the methods of the invention.</p><p><Paragraphs id="pa03" num="0003" xmlns:base="http://www.sipo.gov.cn/XMLSchema/base">Yet furthermore, the present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for increasing various plant seed yield-related traits by increasing expression in a plant of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a <Underline>f</Underline>atty <Underline>a</Underline>cyl-<Underline>a</Underline>cyl <Underline>c</Underline>arrier <Underline>p</Underline>rotein (ACP) <Underline>t</Underline>hioesterase <Underline>B</Underline> (FATB) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having increased expression of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a FATB polypeptide, which plants have increased seed yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention additionally relates to nucleic acid sequences, nucleic acid sequence constructs, vectors and plants containing said nucleic acid sequences.</p><p><Paragraphs id="pa04" num="0004" xmlns:base="http://www.sipo.gov.cn/XMLSchema/base">Even furthermore, the present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for improving various plant growth characteristics by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a LFY-like (LEAFY-like). The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a LFY-like, which plants have improved growth characteristics relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention.</p> |
