1. A method of modulating a trait in a dicotyledonous plant, said method comprising
introducing into a dicotyledonous plant cell an exogenous nucleic acid, said exogenous nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having 95 percent or greater sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:953, wherein the nucleotide sequence is operably linked to a heterologous regulatory region;
producing a dicotyledonous plant from said dicotyledonous plant cell; and
selecting a dicotyledonous plant for increased low light tolerance or SD+EODFR tolerance as compared to a control plant that does not comprise said nucleic acid.
