  • PLANTS HAVING ONE OR MORE ENHANCED YIELD-RELATED TRAITS AND A METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20160177328
    Abstract: A method for enhancing various economically important yield-related traits in plants. A method for enhancing one or more yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in plants of a nucleic acid encoding a FKBP 16-3 (FK506-binding protein) or a quinone reductase-related (QRR) polypeptide. Plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a FKBP 16-3 or a QRR polypeptide, which plants have one or more enhanced yield-related traits compared to control plants. FKBP 16-3 encoding and QRR nucleic acids, and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the methods.
