Abstract:
1. A method for producing a transgenic plant, plant cell or plant part with increased yield, enhanced nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) or increased biomass production as compared to a corresponding non-transformed wild type plant, plant cell or plant part, comprising transforming a plant, plant cell or plant part with a nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of: (a) a nucleic acid molecule comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1055 and encoding the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 1056; (b) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1056; and (c) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1056; and selecting a plant, plant cell or plant part having increased yield, enhanced nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) or increased biomass production in said selected plant, plant cell or plant part as compared to a corresponding non-transformed wild type plant, plant cell or plant part; and wherein expression of said polypeptide of (a), (b) or (c) results in said increase in yield, enhanced nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) or increased biomass production in said selected plant, plant cell or plant part.
