Nucleic acids and the encoded CER2-like polypeptides, At1g68440-like polypeptides or DEAD-box RNA helicase polypeptides are provided. A method of enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression of nucleic acids encoding CER2-like polypeptides or At1g68440-like polypeptides is provided. A method of enhancing yield-related traits in plants by reducing or substantially eliminating expression of nucleic acids encoding DEAD-box RNA helicase polypeptides and/or the activity of DEAD-box RNA helicase polypeptides in said plants is provided. Plants with modulated expression of the nucleic acids encoding CER2-like polypeptides or At1g68440-like polypeptides have enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants. Plants with reduction or elimination of the expression of endogenous nucleic acids encoding DEAD-box RNA helicase polypeptides have enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants.
A method for increasing plant yield in a plant relative to a control plant, comprising introducing and expressing in a plant a nucleic acid encoding a CER2-like (CER2-like acyl transferase) polypeptide having acyltransferase activity, wherein said CER2-like polypeptide is selected from the group consisting of:
A construct comprising:
A method for the production of a transgenic plant having increased plant yield relative to a control plant, comprising:
A transgenic plant having increased biomass and/or increased seed yield relative to a control plant, resulting from introducing and expressing a recombinant nucleic acid encoding a CER2-like polypeptide having acyltransferase activity, or a transgenic plant cell derived from said transgenic plant, wherein said CER2-like polypeptide is selected from the group consisting of:
