Abstract
The invention relates to plant transcription factor polypeptides, polynucleotides that encode them, homologs from a variety of plant species, and methods of using the polynucleotides and polypeptides to produce transgenic plants having advantageous properties compared to a reference plant. Sequence information related to these polynucleotides and polypeptides can also be used in bioinformatic search methods and is also disclosed.
Claims10
A method for producing a plant having an altered trait with respect to a control plant, the method comprising introducing into a plant a recombinant polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide;
- (a) wherein the polypeptide is at least 70% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 214;
- and comprises a conserved domain sharing at least 98% amino acid identity to amino acid residues 201-261 of SEQ ID NO:
- 214, wherein when said polypeptide is overexpressed in a plant, said overexpression of the polypeptide confers increased yield, later flowering, increased biomass, larger leaves, or altered leaf prenyl lipid content to the transgenic plant as compared to the control plant.
A transgenic plant having an altered trait with respect to a control plant, wherein the transgenic plant comprises a recombinant polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide;
- wherein the polypeptide comprises a conserved domain that shares at least 98% amino acid identity to amino acid residues 201-261 of SEQ ID NO:
- 214.
