The present invention relates to the use of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase to modulate plant growth. More specifically, it relates to the
use of a class II trehalose-6-phosphate synthase, comprising both a synthase and a phosphatase-like part to modulate plant growth.
Preferably, the activity of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase is downregulated to obtain an increased plant biomass yield.
