Transgenic plants containing free amino acids, particularly at least one amino acid selected from among glutamic acid, asparagine, aspartic acid, serine, threonine, alanine and histidine accumulated in a large amount, in edible parts thereof, and a method of producing them are provided. In this method, glutamate decarboxylase(GAD) gene is introduced into a plant in anti-sense direction together with an appropriate regulatory sequence, and the expression of GAD gene is supressed.
