Abstract for “Plants with Enhanced Yield-Related Characteristics and a Method to Make the Same”

“Provided is a method to enhance yield-related traits in plants through modulating expression of a nucleic acids encoding an NEMTOP6 peptide in a plant. Plants that have modulated the expression of a nucleic acids encoding an NEMTOP6 peptide in plants are also provided. These plants show enhanced yield-related traits compared to control plants. Constructs containing NEMTOP6-encoding genes and nucleic acid-encoding constructs are also provided. These constructs can be useful in enhancing yield-related characteristics in plants.
