Abstract: Protein nog1 is used in the regulation of plant yield and/or grain number. The transgenic treated Guichao 2 in which the expression of the protein nog1 is inhibited has a reduced yield per plant and/or a reduced grain number of the main stem as compared with untreated Guichao 2. The transgenic plant obtained by introducing a nucleic acid molecule encoding the protein nog1 into SIL176 has an increased yield per plant and/or an increased grain number of the main stem as compared with untransformed SIL176.
