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 a nucleic acid encoding an importin or a yield-related polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding an importin or a yield-related polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention.

Abstract: 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 a WI12-like (WIL) polypeptide or a SAWADEE-like polypeptide or a POZ-like (Pox virus and Zn Finger) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a WIL polypeptide or a SAWADEE-like polypeptide or a POZ-like polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention also provides hitherto unknown WIL-encoding nucleic acids, and constructs comprising the same, and hitherto unknown POZ-like encoding nucleic acids, and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the methods of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a plant with increased yield as compared to a corresponding wild type plant comprising increasing or generating one or more protein activities in a plant or a part thereof. The present invention further relates to nucleic acids enhancing or improving one or more traits of a transgenic plant, and cells, progenies, seeds and pollen derived from such plants or parts, as well as methods of making and methods of using such plant cell(s) or plant(s), progenies, seed(s) or pollen. Particularly, the improved trait(s) are manifested as increased yield, preferably by improving one or more yield-related trait(s).

Abstract: 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 encoding an ARP6 (Actin Related Protein 6). The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding an ARP, 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.
