Abstract
The present invention provides, inter alia, methods for increasing the production of biomass and/or seeds, and plants for use in such methods. The production of biomass and/or seeds by a plant can be increased by supplying glutathione to a plant into which a gene encoding a protein phosphatase 2C having characteristic consensus sequences has been introduced.
