Provided is a method for enhancing one or more yield-related traits in a plant by modulating expression in the plant of a nucleic acid encoding an ANAC055(Arabidopsis No Apical Meristem, Arabidopsis Transcription Factor, Cup-shaped Cotyledon) polypeptide. Also provided are plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding an ANAC055 polypeptide, which plants have one or more enhanced yield-related traits compared with control plants. Further provided are hitherto unknown ANAC055-encoding nucleic acids, and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the method. L'invention concerne un procédé pour renforcer un ou plusieurs caractères liés au rendement dans une plante, par modulation de l'expression dans la plante d'un acide nucléique codant pour un polypeptide ANAC055 (méristème non apical d'arabidopsis, facteur de transcription d'arabidopsis, cotylédon cupulaire). L'invention concerne aussi des plantes présentant une expression modulée d'un acide nucléique codant pour un polypeptide ANAC055, lesquelles plantes possèdent ou plusieurs caractères liés au rendement renforcés par rapport à des plantes témoins. L'invention concerne en outre des acides nucléiques codant pour ANAC055 actuellement inconnus, et des constructions les comprenant, pouvant être utiles pour la mise en œuvre du procédé.
