Abstract: A transgenic plant which exhibits a growth capacity which is enhanced compared to that of a host plant, and has a chimeric protein of a peptide containing an amino acid sequence derived from a motor domain of myosin XI of a donor plant 1, which is a plant species other than the host plant, and a peptide containing an amino acid sequence derived from a domain other than the motor domain of myosin XI of a donor plant 2, which is the host plant or a plant species other than the host plant, the transgenic plant being characterized in that the motor domain loop 2 region has EEPKQGGKGGGKSSFSSIG or EEPKQGGGKGGSKSSFSSIG, and in addition to these sequences, has an amino acid sequence in which one to six amino acids have been deleted, replaced or added.

Abstract: A method for producing a plant with enhanced growth is provided including a step of introducing a gene encoding a chimeric myosin XI protein into a host plant so as to transform the host plant. The chimeric myosin XI protein comprises a neck domain, a coiled-coil domain, and a globular tail domain from a myosin XI protein involved in cytoplasmic streaming of a donor plant. The motor domain from a myosin XI protein of a plant belongs to the genus Chara. The motor domain comprises an amino acid sequence specified in the following (a) or (b): (a) the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1; or (b) an amino acid sequence having 90% or more identity with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. The host plant belongs to the same family as the donor plant.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for producing a plant with enhanced or suppressed growth through introduction of a mutated gene and a plant including such a mutated gene. This invention provides a method for producing a plant with enhanced growth or suppressed growth. Such method includes a step of introducing a gene encoding a chimeric myosin protein into a host plant so as to transform the host plant, wherein the chimeric myosin protein comprises: a neck domain, a coiled-coil domain, and a globular tail domain from a myosin protein involved in cytoplasmic streaming of a donor plant; and a motor domain from a myosin protein other than the myosin protein of the host plant, which has sliding velocity that is higher or lower, respectively, than that of the myosin protein involved in cytoplasmic streaming of the donor plant.

Abstract: A seat for a vehicle includes: a detecting sensor detecting an occupant having a planar antenna electrode, at which electric filed is generated, and a ground electrode arranged with a clearance along an outer periphery of the antenna electrode. The antenna electrode can be provided with a hole at the center of the antenna electrode.
