The invention provides methods for producing a plant with altered seed yield,the methods comprising transformation of a plant with a genetic construct includinga polynucleotide encoding of a polypeptide with the amino acid sequence of SEQID NO: 1 or a variant or fragment thereof. The method also provides isolated polypeptides,polynucleotides, constructs and vectors useful for producing a plant with alteredseed yield. The method also provides plant cell and plants transformed to containand express the polypeptides, polynucleotides and constructs. The inventionalso provides plants produced by methods of the invention.
