| 1. A method for increasing seed yield in plants, comprising
(i) introducing an expressing in a plant a nucleic acid encoding an S3A polypeptide having at least 80% sequence identity
to SEQ ID NO:2,
(ii) growing said plant expressing said nucleic acid,
(iii) screening for plants having increased yield relative to plants of the same species that do not comprise and express
said nucleic acid, and
(iv) harvesting seeds from said plant.
