The present invention relates to a method for expressing and accumulating
a low-molecular peptide in plant seeds; a vector therefore; and a plant
transformed with the vector. In the present invention, an intended
peptide composed of 3 to 40 amino acid residues is expressed and
accumulated in seeds of a plant by transforming the plant with a fusion
protein expression vector comprising a gene encoding a member of the
glutelin multigene family and two or more copies of a gene encoding the
intended peptide ligated downstream of the gene under the control of a
promoter.
