method for enhancing plant yield characteristics in relation to control plants, construct, plant use, plant, plant part or plant cell, method for producing a transgenic plant, transgenic plant, harvestable parts of a plant, products, and use of a nucleic acid.

摘要

The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding an UBiquitin-Specific Protease (UBP). The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a UBP, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention.
