The production of exudate containing sugar from a plant at a high concentration is provided. A nucleic acid encoding a transporter involved in sugar transportation having a certain consensus sequence derived from the amino acid sequences of the SWEET proteins classified in the clade III is introduced and/or expression of the protein is enhanced.

Transformed plant and method for producing exudate containing sugar using transformed plant

A technique by which the production of plant biomass can be significantly increased is provided. A protein phosphatase 2C gene having 3 consensus sequences comprising the amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NOS: 1-3 from the N-terminal side in such order is over-expressed.

Gene for increasing the production of plant biomass and/or seeds and method for use thereof

According to the present invention, a gene having a novel function that can cause an increase or decrease in seed protein content is searched for. A chimeric protein obtained by fusing a transcription factor consisting of a protein comprising an amino acid sequence shown in any of the even-numbered SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 76 and a functional peptide capable of converting an arbitrary transcription factor into a transcriptional repressor or a transcription factor consisting of a protein comprising an amino acid sequence shown in any of the even-numbered SEQ ID NOS: 77 to 84 is expressed in a plant.

Plant with reduced protein productivity in seeds and method for producing same

This invention is intended to allow accumulation of large quantities of soluble sugars in tissue other than plant seeds. A plant is modified so as to suppress a gene encoding a subunit exhibiting the highest sequence similarity with the subunit encoded by the AGPL1 gene of rice among subunits constituting.

Plant variant, method for producing plant variant, and method for accumulating soluble sugar
