Abstract:
1. A method for producing a transgenic plant having greater yield, wherein the method comprises: (a) providing a nucleic acid construct comprising a recombinant polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide that has a conserved domain that is at least 70% identical to amino acids 34-70 of SEQ ID NO: 38, wherein the polypeptide is at least 58% identical to the full length sequence of SEQ ID NO: 38; (b) introducing the nucleic acid construct into a plant to produce a transgenic plant overexpressing said polypeptide; (c) exposing the transgenic plant to a cold stress, a hyperosmotic stress, or a nitrogen-limited condition; and (d) selecting a transgenic plant that has greater yield relative to a control plant not comprising said recombinant polynucleotide.
