US 2014/0352003 A1 · PLANTS HAVING ENHANCED YIELD-RELATED TRAITS AND A METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME

Abstract

The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for increasing various plant yield-related traits by increasing expression in a plant of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a zinc finger (Znf) domain-containing A20/AN1 (Znf A20/AN1) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having increased expression of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a Znf A20/AN1 polypeptide, which plants have increased yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention also provides nucleic acid sequence, polypeptide sequence, and constructs useful in the methods of the invention.

Dependent claims

A method for enhancing yield-related traits in a plant relative to a control plant, comprising increasing expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger (Znf) domain-containing A20/AN1 (Znf A20/AN1) polypeptide and optionally selecting for a plant having enhanced yield-related traits relative to a control plant, wherein said Znf A20/AN1 polypeptide comprises (i) at least one A20-type zinc finger domain with an InterPro accession IPR002653 (ProSite accession PS51036);

and (ii) at least one AN1-type zinc finger domain with an InterPro accession IPR000058 (ProSite accession PS51039).

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
