A transcriptional regulator, having new functions that can increase per-organism material productivity, is used to improve such characteristics of plants. A chimeric protein, which is obtained by fusing a repressor domain and a transcription factor belonging to a transcription factor family comprising transcription factors that include the amino-acid sequence represented by sequence number 4, is expressed in a plant body. Selon l'invention, un régulateur de transcription, ayant de nouvelles fonctions qui peuvent augmenter la productivité de matière par organisme, est utilisé pour améliorer de telles caractéristiques de plantes. Une protéine chimérique, qui combine un domaine répresseur et un facteur de transcription appartenant à une famille de facteurs de transcription comprenant des facteurs de transcription qui comprennent la séquence d'acides aminés indiquée dans le numéro de séquence 4, est exprimée dans un corps de plante.
