A method of introducing a symbiotic fungus producing one chanoclavine as a
final metabolic product into a plant, includes the steps of isolating
symbiotic fungi from naturally existing plants, artificially cultivating
the isolated symbiotic fungi, introducing the cultivated symbiotic fungi
into target plants, infecting the target plants with the introduced
symbiotic fungi, determining whether the introduced symbiotic fungi
infecting the target plants produce the chanoclavine as the final
metabolic product, and selecting the target plants which produce the
chanoclavine as the final metabolic product.
