An object of the present invention is to explore, isolate, and identify a
dwarfing gene by activation tagging. The present invention provides a
gene encoding a protein of the following (a) or (b): (a) a protein
consisting of the amino acid sequence represented by any of SEQ ID NOs:
2, 4, 6, and 8; or (b) a protein consisting of an amino acid sequence
derived from the amino acid sequence represented by any of SEQ ID NOs: 2,
4, 6, and 8 with the deletion, substitution, or addition of one or
several amino acids and having the activity of dwarfing a plant body.
