  • PLANTS HAVING ENHANCED YIELD-RELATED TRAITS AND A METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20150106974
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of one ore more nucleic acid(s) encoding at least two iSYT (interactor of SYT—synovial sarcoma translocation—) polypeptides. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding at least two iSYT polypeptides, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. Nucleic acids encoding at least two iSYT polypeptides and constructs comprising the same useful in performing the methods of the invention are also disclosed. Also provided are constructs useful in the methods of the invention. The present invention also relates to an iSYT-based protein complex. The use of the complex to promote plant growth, and a method for stimulating the complex formation, by overexpressing at least two members of the complex, are also disclosed.

  • Plants having enhanced yield-related traits and a method for making the same
    Patent number: 8946512
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of one or more nucleic acid(s) encoding at least two iSYT (interactor of SYT-synovial sarcoma translocation-) polypeptides. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding at least two iSYT polypeptides, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides hitherto unknown nucleic acids encoding at least two iSYT polypeptides, and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the methods of the invention. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention. Furthermore the present invention also relates to an iSYT-based protein complex.

  • Plants Having Enhanced Yield-Related Traits and a Method for Making the Same
    Publication number: 20140298545
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding an F-box Skp2-like polypeptide, or a DUF584 polypeptide. The present invention also provides plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding an F-box Skp2-like polypeptide, or a DUF584 polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits compared to control plants.
