Manipulating plant sensitivity to light

A method for increasing yield in a plant, the method comprising the steps of:

• introducing into a target plant at least one recombinant polynucleotide comprising at least one nucleotide sequence that encodes a polypeptide thereby producing a transgenic plant, wherein the nucleotide sequence is operably linked to a heterologous promoter,
• wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence that has a 95% percentage identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:530;
• overexpressing the polypeptide in the transgenic plant;
• and
• selecting the transgenic plant that overexpresses the polypeptide having at least 95% percentage identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:530 for having an increased yield of at least 6.1% as compared to a control plant.
