Abstract: The invention relates to a method for predicting yield performance of a crop plant, comprising the steps of receiving metabolite measurements of the crop plant; determining new metabolite features by combining the received metabolite measurements, wherein at least one new metabolite feature is based on a classified average; providing the new metabolite features to a trained machine learning model; and determining yield performance of the crop plant using the provided model. It also relates to a method for training a machine learning model for predicting yield performance of a crop plant; a control unit configured to execute the method for predicting yield performance; to a plant breeding method and a farming method that apply said method; and the use of new metabolite features as determined in said method for prediction of yield performance.

Abstract: A transgenic plant transformed by a Lectin-like Protein Kinase Stress-Related Polypeptide (LPKSRP) coding nucleic acid, wherein expression of the nucleic acid sequence in the plant results in increased plant growth and/or increased tolerance to an environmental stress as compared to a wild type variety of the plant. Also provided are agricultural products, including seeds, produced by the transgenic plants. Also provided are isolated LPKSRPs, and isolated nucleic acids coding LPKSRPs, and vectors and host cells containing the latter.
