Abstract
A method of increasing the biomass of a plant that includes planting a plant having plant cells carrying an exogenous gene that encodes a thermophilic restriction enzyme that promotes double-stranded DNA breakage, and growing the plant at least until after true leaf development, wherein the mean biomass of plants having the plant cells carrying the exogenous gene that are grown at least until after true leaf development is increased in comparison with the mean biomass of plants of the same species that do not carry the exogenous gene that are grown for the same amount of time.
