In order to develop a technique for increasing an amino acid content and to provide a technique for easily producing a plant having an increased amino acid content, an amino acid content in a plant is increased by an amino acid content promoting agent, a composition containing the amino acid content promoting agent, a kit including an amino acid content promoting agent, or a kit including a composition containing the amino acid content promoting agent, and a plant having an increased amino acid content is produced.

Compound for increasing amino acid content in plant, and use thereof

Environmental stress resistance is imparted to a plant or the environmental stress resistance of a plant is improved. Environmental stress resistance is imparted to a plant by changing the expression level of the tyrosine phosphatase gene (At1g71860).

Method for imparting environmental stress resistance to plants

A plant growth regulator containing glutathione allows increasing harvest index. This provides a technique for specifying a control factor for a plant, thereby effectively controlling germination, growth, anthesis etc. of the plant.

Plant growth regulator and use thereof

A method of regulating flowering of a plant by applying an effective amount of a substance that affects the synthesis or amount of glutathione in cells to the plant and cultivating the plant under conditions suitable for growth.
