An object of the present invention is to provide a transformed plant which
has high photosynthesis activity, and has promoted growth and
productivity as compared with a wild strain, and has no fear of diffusion
of an introduced gene by pollens, by expressing a trait of a specified
gene by chloroplast technology in a higher plant. According to the
present invention, there is provided a transformed plant using a gene
recombinant vector having an expression cassette for enhancing
photosynthesis activity, containing a DNA fragment comprising a gene
encoding a protein having fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase
sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase activities between a nucleotide sequence
complementary to the chloroplast gene rbcL and the chloroplast gene aacD.
