This invention is intended to be used to search for a transcription factor having novel functions of increasing the weight of an individual plant, increasing the weight of a given tissue per individual plant, or improving the productivity of a given substance per individual plant and to improve such properties in the plant. The weight of an individual plant is increased, the weight of a given tissue per individual plant is increased, the productivity of a given substance per individual plant is improved, or the content of a given substance per given tissue of a plant is increased via expression of a transcription factor that has been modified to suppress transcription accelerating activity.

This invention is intended to search for a transcription regulator having a novel function of improving the amount of substances produced per individual plant and to enhance such properties in a plant. A chimeric protein resulting from the fusion of a transcription factor belonging a transcription factor family that includes a transcription factor comprising the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 4 with the repressor domain is expressed in a plant.
