Patent ID: 6846669

Claim:
A method of modulating seed mass or oil content in a plant, the method comprising: providing a first plant comprising a recombinant expression cassette containing an ADC nucleic acid linked to a plant promoter, which ADC nucleic acid comprises a nucleic acid sequence at least about 80% identical to a nucleic acid sequence selected from a group consisting of SEQ ID NO:100, SEQ ID NO:101, SEQ ID NO:102, SEQ ID NO:103, SEQ ID NO:104, SEQ ID NO:105, SEQ ID NO:106, SEQ ID NO:107, SEQ ID NO:108, SEQ ID N O109, SEQ ID NO 110, and SEQ ID NO:111, and which ADC nucleic acid encodes a polypeptide that module seed mass or oil content; selfing the first plant or crossing the first plant with a second plant, thereby producing a plurality of seeds; and selecting seed with altered mass or oil content.
