According to the present invention, a method for stably accumulating a target protein in plant cells or a plant body, and a transgenic plant in which protein has accumulated, are provided. The method of the present invention is a method for accumulating protein in plant cells, comprising accumulating a target protein or a protein deficient in an N-terminal region of the target protein in vacuoles of myrosin cells present in a multiple mutant, in which myrosin cells deficient in intravacuolar protein are also present in a plant body at locations other than around vascular bundles, by expressing a gene that encodes a target protein having an intracellular membrane system localization signal on the N-terminal and a vacuole localization signal on the C-terminal in the multiple mutant.

Method for accumulating protein in plant cells

A stomata-increasing agent containing a compound capable of increasing the number and/or density of stomata in a plant, a polypeptide containing the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 6 or a variant thereof, a method for increasing the number and/or density of stomata in a plant and a method for increasing the yield of a plant are provided.
