Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a heterologous protein secreted out of a plant cell comprising introducing into a plant cell genome a DNA encoding an amino acid sequence that comprises a glycinin signal sequence for endoplasmic reticulum transport and an amino acid sequence of a heterologous protein, wherein the signal sequence is directly fused to the amino acid sequence of the heterologous protein or one or two amino acids are inserted between the signal sequence and the amino acid sequence of the heterologous protein; and expressing the DNA.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for promoting the growth of a plant which comprises treating the plant with an effective amount of a compound represented by formula (1); and so on.

Abstract: The present invention provides a plant on which resistance to at least one of protoporphyrinogen IX oxidize inhibitory-type herbicidal compounds is conferred, wherein to said plant (1) a DNA encoding a protein showing protoporphyrinogen IX oxidize activity and (2) a DNA encoding cytochrome P450 showing activity of metabolizing said herbicidal compound, have been introduced and expressed, and the like.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for controlling weeds comprising a step of applying one or more compounds to a cultivation area of a plant, to which a gene of cytochrome P450 showing activity of metabolizing a protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase inhibitory-type herbicidal compound has been introduced, wherein said compound to be applied to said area is selected from the group consisting of: (1) flufenpyr-ethyl, (2) 2-[4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-(2-propynyloxy)phenyl]-4-methy-5-(trifluoromethyl)-3(2H)-pyridazinone, (3) carfentrazone-ethyl, and (4) sulfentrazone; and the like.
