Abstract:
1. An expression vector comprising a recombinant polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide that comprises a conserved domain that has at least 87% identity to amino acids 83-148 of SEQ ID NO: 36; wherein the recombinant polynucleotide is operably linked to a heterologous promoter; wherein when the expression vector is introduced into a plant to produce a transgenic plant, the polypeptide is expressed in the transgenic plant; the polypeptide regulates transcription in the transgenic plant; and due to the expression of the polypeptide in the transgenic plant, the transgenic plant is larger at the seedling stage, or has greater growth rate, greater biomass with respect to a control plant that does not contain the recombinant polynucleotide.
