Provided is a method for enhancing yield related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a variant synovial sarcoma translocation (SYT) polypeptide comprising or consisting of any one or more of the following domains: an SNH domain a Met rich domain and a QG rich domain. Also provided are plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding such a variant SYT polypeptide which plants have enhanced yield related traits compared with control plants. Constructs useful in the method are provided as well.
