Abstract
The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing various yield-related traits by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a TFL1 Like (Terminal Flower Like 1) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a TFL1 Like polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provided hitherto unknown TFL1-Like encoding nucleic acids, and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the methods of the invention.
