Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing yield related traits by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a eRF1 polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding this eRF1 polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention. 
     The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing various economically important yield-related traits in plants. More specifically, the present invention concerns a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding an SCAMP-like ( s ecretory  c arrier  m embrane  p roteins) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding an SCAMP-like polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention also provides hitherto unknown SCAMP-like-encoding nucleic acids, and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the methods of the invention. 
     The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing various yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plastid of a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a fibrillin polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression in a plastid of a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a fibrillin, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention. 
     The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for improving various plant growth characteristics by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a PLATZ (plant AT-rich sequence- and zinc binding protein) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a PLATZ polypeptide, which plants have improved growth characteristics relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention. 
     The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing yield related traits by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a PLST-like polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a PLST-like polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention. 
     The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a Glomalin (HSP60, chaperonin CNP60) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a Glomalin polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention.
