Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides, and methods of using same for increasing plant yield and/or agricultural characteristics

Abstract

Provided are isolated polynucleotides which comprise a nucleic acid sequence at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO: 3487, 1-239, 467-1973, 3481-3486, 3488-3674, 3738 or 3739; isolated polypeptides which comprise an amino acid sequence at least 80% homologous to SEQ ID NO: 246, 240-245, 247-465, 1974-3480, 3675-3736 or 3737, and methods of using same for increasing a yield, biomass, growth rate, vigor, oil content, fiber yield, fiber quality, abiotic stress tolerance, and/or nitrogen use efficiency of a plant.

  1. 1
    A method of increasing yield, biomass, growth rate, vigor, oil content, fiber yield, fiber quality, abiotic stress tolerance, and/or nitrogen use efficiency of a plant, comprising expressing within the plant an exogenous polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide at least 80 % identical to SEQ ID NO:333, 240-245, 247-332, 334-465, 1974-3480, 3675-3736 or 3737, thereby increasing the yield, biomass, growth rate, vigor, oil content, fiber yield, fiber quality, abiotic stress tolerance, and/or nitrogen use efficiency of the plant.
  2. 2
    An isolated polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide which comprises an amino acid sequence at least 80 % homologous to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:333, 240-245, 247-332, 334-465, 1974-3480, 3675-3736 or 3737, wherein said nucleic acid sequence is capable of increasing yield, biomass, growth rate, vigor, oil content, fiber yield, fiber quality, abiotic stress tolerance, and/or nitrogen use efficiency of a plant.
  3. 3
    An isolated polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence at least 80 % homologous to SEQ ID NO:333, 240-245, 247-332, 334-465, 1974-3480, 3675-3736 or 3737, wherein said amino acid sequence is capable of increasing yield, biomass, growth rate, vigor, oil content, fiber yield, fiber quality, abiotic stress tolerance, and/or nitrogen use efficiency of a plant.
