  • Patent number: 9447396
    Abstract: According to the present invention, a method for stably accumulating a target protein in plant cells or a plant body, and a transgenic plant in which protein has accumulated, are provided. The method of the present invention is a method for accumulating protein in plant cells, comprising accumulating a target protein or a protein deficient in an N-terminal region of the target protein in vacuoles of myrosin cells present in a multiple mutant, in which myrosin cells deficient in intravacuolar protein are also present in a plant body at locations other than around vascular bundles, by expressing a gene that encodes a target protein having an intracellular membrane system localization signal on the N-terminal and a vacuole localization signal on the C-terminal in the multiple mutant.

  • Patent number: 9115367
    Abstract: A stomata-increasing agent containing a compound capable of increasing the number and/or density of stomata in a plant, a polypeptide containing the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 6 or a variant thereof, a method for increasing the number and/or density of stomata in a plant and a method for increasing the yield of a plant are provided.

  • Publication number: 20140137289
    Abstract: A method for accumulating a protein in a plant cell, in which by co-expressing a gene which encodes a polypeptide having an ability to form an ER body, and a gene which encodes a target protein having an endomembrane system migration signal peptide at the N-terminus and having an ER retention signal peptide at the C-terminus in the plant cell, the target protein or a protein in which the N-terminus domain of the target protein is lacking is accumulated in an ER body formed in the plant cell.

  • Publication number: 20110126315
    Abstract: A DNA construct including a gene which is operably linked to a seed-specific promoter and which encodes a fusion protein of a seed protein and a fluorescent protein is used. This provides a technique for obtaining a target transformant in a relatively short time without requiring a complicated process, so as to produce a transgenic plant.
