Abstract:
1. A method of increasing size, vegetative growth, architecture, seedling vigor, growth rate, fruit and seed yield or biomass of a plant, said method comprising the steps of: (a) transforming plant cells with an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence that is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 93, and wherein the nucleotide sequence is operably linked to the promoter p326 which has the nucleotide sequence according to SEQ ID NO. 76; (b) expressing said polypeptide in the transformed plant cells; (c) regenerating transgenic plants from said transformed plant cells; and (d) identifying a transgenic plant from said transgenic plants, which exhibits increase in size, vegetative growth, architecture, seedling vigor, growth rate, fruit and seed yield or biomass as compared to an untransformed plant of the same plant species.
