ABSTRACT:
The object of the present invention is to provide a transformed plant having an enhanced amino acid content, a progeny of the plant, seeds of the plant and a method for producing the plant. The present invention provides a transformed plant having a gene encoding DNA binding protein of Dof family and also having a free amino acid content higher than that of naturally occurring plants of the same species cultivated under the same conditions. The present invention also provides a method of producing a transformed plant having the free amino acid content higher than that of naturally occurring plants of the same species cultivated under the same conditions by introducing a gene encoding DNA binding protein of Dof family into the plant to express the gene in the plant body.
