  • Compound for increasing amino acid content in plant, and use thereof
    Patent number: 9930887
    Abstract: In order to develop a technique for increasing an amino acid content and to provide a technique for easily producing a plant having an increased amino acid content, an amino acid content in a plant is increased by an amino acid content promoting agent, a composition containing the amino acid content promoting agent, a kit including an amino acid content promoting agent, or a kit including a composition containing the amino acid content promoting agent, and a plant having an increased amino acid content is produced.
    Type: Grant

  • Plant having increased yield of seeds
    Patent number: 8173865
    Abstract: It is found that a transformed plant into which a ?-glutamylcysteine synthetase gene has been introduced is increased in at least one of the number of flowers and the number of seeds in comparison with a wild-type plant, and is therefore increased in seed yield. Based on this finding, the present invention elucidates the function of a product of a plant-derived ?-glutamylcysteine synthetase gene and provides a technique for producing a plant having an increased seed yield.
