PLANTS HAVING ENHANCED YIELD-RELATED TRAITS AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

Provided are methods for enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression of a nucleic acid encoding an ELM2-related polypeptide, or a WRKY-related polypeptide, or an EMGl-like polypeptide, or a GPx-related polypeptide in a plant. Also provided are plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding an ELM2 -related polypeptide, or a WRKY-related polypeptide, or an EMGl-like polypeptide, or a GPx-related polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants. Further provided are constructs comprising a nucleic acid encoding an ELM2 -related polypeptide, or a WRKY-related polypeptide, or an EMGl-like polypeptide, or a GPx-related polypeptide, useful in carrying out the methods of the invention.
