TRANSGENIC PLANTS PRODUCING POLYHYDROXYALKANOATES

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...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	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 synthesize PHB from acetyl-CoA or related metabolites. PHB is a very useful polymer which is biodegradable. UN METODO PARA INTRODUCIR EN UNA PLANTA ADN EXTRAÑO QUE CODIFICA POLIPEPTIDOS QUE CONDUCEN A LA SINTESIS DE UN POLIHIDROXIALCANOATO, QUE COMPRENDE APAREAR POR FERTILIZACION SEXUAL DOS PLANTAS QUE NO PRODUCEN POLIHIDROXIALCANOATO CONTENIENDO CADA UNA ADN EXTRAÑO QUE CODIFICA UNA O MAS ENZIMAS DIFERENTES DE UNA RUTA QUE CONDUCE A LA POLIMERIZACION DE HIDROXIALQUIL-COA POR POLIHIDROXIALCANOATO-SINTASA, CON LO QUE SE PRODUCE LA PLANTA QUE CODIFICA EL POLIHIDROXIALCANOATO.
