In plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a LEJ1 (Loss of timing of ET and JA biosynthesis 1) polypeptide, an ExbB polypeptide, a nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NMPRT) polypeptide, an AP2-26-like polypeptide or an HD8- Methods are provided to improve various economically important yield related traits. Also provided are plants produced by the method, wherein the plants have improved yield related traits as compared to the corresponding wild-type plants or other control plants. Genetic constructs comprising a nucleic acid encoding LEJ1, ExbB, NMPRT, AP2-26-like or HD8-like polypeptides and uses thereof are provided. |
