Transgenic plant having increased biomass and improved environmental stress resistance, and process for production thereof

A transgenic plant into which a polynucleotide encoding a protein comprising a CCT motif and a pseudo-receiver domain which is a common motif of plant pseudo-response regulator genes, or a recombinant vector comprising the polynucleotide has been introduced.

(canceled)

A method for preparing a transgenic plant, comprising:

• introducing a fusion polynucleotide of a polynucleotide encoding a protein comprising a CCT motif and a pseudo-receiver domain which is a common motif of plant pseudo-response regulator genes and a polynucleotide encoding at least one transcription activation domain of a transcription factor, or a recombinant vector comprising the fusion polynucleotide into a plant cell;
• and
• regenerating a plant body from the plant cell.
