Gene capable of increasing amount of plant biomass, and method for utilizing same

Abstract

Disclosed is a technique for largely increasing the amount of a plant biomass and imparting salt stress tolerance. A gene encoding a protein is introduced, wherein the protein contains a consensus sequence comprising the amino acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO:3 and a consensus sequence comprising the amino acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO:2 in this order from the N-terminal side, and has a coiled-coil structure, a nucleic acid-binding site, and a leucine-rich repeat structure. Alternatively, an expression control region for the gene which is present endogenously is modified.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a plant into which a prescribed gene or its inner expression control region has been changed; and by introducing a prescribed gene or changing its inner expression control region to increase biomass production and endow organisms with A method for tolerance to salt stress; and a method for producing a plant body with increased biomass and endowed with tolerance to salt stress. Background technique [0002] The so-called biomass (biomass) generally refers to the total amount of organisms that inhabit or exist per certain area, and especially when plants are used as an object, it means the dry weight per unit area. Units of biomass are quantified in terms of mass or energy. The expression "biomass" is synonymous with "biomass" and "biomass", and in the case of plant biomass, the term "standing crop" is sometimes used. Plant biomass is produced using solar energy to fix atmospheric carbon dioxide and can thus be captured...

Problems solved by technology

However, although any technology focuses on the effect of increasing biomass production, no technology has been developed to impart salt stress tolerance to plants.
