PLANTS HAVING INCREASED SEED YEILD AND/OR GROWTH RATE AND METHOD FOR MAKING SAME, COMPRISING TRANSFORMATION WITH A NUCLEIC ACID ENCODING A 40S SMALL SUBUNIT RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN

摘要

The present invention concerns a method for improving the growthcharacteristics of plants by introducing and expressing in a plant a nucleicacid encoding an S3a protein. The invention also relates to transgenic plantshaving introduced therein a nucleic acid encoding an S3a protein, which plantshave improved growth characteristics relative to corresponding wild typeplants. The present invention also concerns constructs useful in the methodsof the invention.
