background
● Improvement of photosynthesis is focused primarily for plant biomass enhancement.
● Positive effects on plant growth is often inhibited by local accumulation of the photosynthetic products.
● Stable and universal technology for Plant enhancement is expected.

● Stable and universal technology for Plant enhancement is expected.
summary
● Cytoplasmic streaming, the common transport system in the plant, was accelerated artificially.
● Myosin XI motor domain was genetically exchanged by that of Chara myosin XI, which is the fastest motor protein.

predominance
● Originality: the only technology for plant enhancement by artificial acceleration of the transport.
● Universality: This technology can be applied to every plant, because cytoplasmic is a common system conserved among algae to angiosperm.
