Abstract
According to the present invention, a transformant and a gene-disrupted strain are provided which exhibit growth superior to that of ordinary plants in calcareous soil, and which can accumulate iron and zinc in large quantities in both calcareous soil and good soil; also provided are a gene, vector, protein, and antibody used for constructing these, and a method of construction, a composition for construction, a kit for construction, and a breeding method for a plant with improved iron deficiency tolerance, and enhanced iron and zinc accumulation in an edible part. The protein of the present invention is an iron- and zinc-binding regulatory factor, and includes any one of the following amino acid sequences of (a) to (c): (a) an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 or 2; (b) an amino acid sequence obtained by deletion, substitution, or addition of one to several amino acids in the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 or 2; or (c) an amino acid sequence which has 80% or more identity with the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 or 2.
