| 20110061134 | Plants Having Enhanced Yield-Related Traits and a Method for Making the Same - 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 an UBiquitin-Specific Protease (UBP). The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a UBP, 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. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20100313308 | PLANTS HAVING ALTERED GROWTH AND/OR DEVELOPMENT AND A METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME - The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for altering variouse aspects of plant growth and/or development by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding an UBiquitin-Specific Protease (UBP) of the UBP15 subfamily or a homologue thereof. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a UBP 15 or a homologue thereof, which plants have altered growth and/or development relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention. | 12-09-2010 |
