TRANSGENIC PLANTS PRODUCING POLYHYDROXYALKANOATES

The present invention relates to transgenic plants which produce poly-beta.-D-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) and related poly-hydroxyalkanoates (PHA). The production of PHB is accomplished by genetically transforming the plants with modified genes from microorganisms. The genes encode the enzymes require...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to transgenic plants which produce poly-beta.-D-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) and related poly-hydroxyalkanoates (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.
