| 摘要 |
The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing various economically important yield-related traits in plants. More specifically, the present invention concerns a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding an DUF642 (Protein containing a Domain of Unknown Function) polypeptide, or an epimerase-related like polypeptide, or a Phospholipase/carboxylesterase (PLPCase) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a DUF642 polypeptide, or an epimerase-related like polypeptide, or a PLPCase polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention also provides hitherto unknown POI-encoding nucleic acids DUF642-encoding nucleic acids, or epimerase-related like polypeptides, or PLPCase-encoding nucleic acids, and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the methods of the invention. |
