5. A transgenic monocotyledonous plant comprising an exogenous nucleic acid,
wherein the exogenous nucleic acid comprises a regulatory region operably linked to a nucleotide sequence,
wherein the nucleotide sequence encodes a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having 95 percent or greater sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:253,
wherein the monocotyledonous plant is selected for increased panicle weight by at least about 35 percent as compared to the corresponding level of a control plant that does not comprise said exogenous nucleic acid.
