The invention is based on an increased expression of heat stress transcription factor B2a (HSFB2a) protein in plants to reduce cleistogamy and thereby increase plant function such as seed or fruit production. In one alternative, the invention is based on a decreased expression of heat stress transcription factor B2a (HSFB2a) protein in plants to enhance, increase and/or promote cleistogamy. The invention provides genetic constructs for the expression of HSFB2a in plants and transgenic plant cells and plants comprising the constructs of the invention.
