Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to transgenic plants which produce poly-beta-D-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) and related polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). The production of PHB is accomplished by genetically transforming the plants with modified genes from microorganisms. The genes encode the enzymes required to synthesise PHB from acetyl-CoA or related metabolites. PHB is a very useful polymer which is biodegradable.
