The present invention provides a method of modifying a targeted site of a double stranded DNA of a monocot cell, comprising a step of contacting a complex wherein a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module that specifically binds to a target nucleotide sequence in the given double stranded DNA and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme are bonded, with said double stranded DNA, to convert one or more nucleotides in the targeted site to other one or more nucleotides or delete one or more nucleotides, or insert one or more nucleotides into said targeted site, without cleaving at least one strand of said double stranded DNA in the targeted site, wherein the double stranded DNA is contacted with the complex by introducing a nucleic acid encoding the complex into the monocot cell. Furthermore, also provided is a complex used for the method, wherein a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module that specifically binds to a target nucleotide sequence in a double stranded DNA of a monocot cell and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme are bonded.

Method for converting monocot plant genome sequence in which nucleic acid base in targeted DNA sequence is specifically converted, and molecular complex used therein
