PHA production, from bacteria to plants.

The genes encoding the polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biosynthetic pathway in Ralstonia eutropha (3-ketothiolase, phaA or bktB; acetoacetyl-CoA reductase, phaB; and PHA synthase, phaC) were engineered for plant plastid targeting and expressed using leaf (e35S) or seed-specific (7s or lesquerella hydroxylase) promoters in Arabidopsis and Brassica. PHA yields in homozygous transformants were 12-13% of the dry mass in homozygous Arabidopsis plants and approximately 7% of the seed weight in seeds from heterozygous canola plants. When a threonine deaminase was expressed in addition to bktB, phaB and phaC, a copolyester of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate was produced in both Arabidopsis and Brassica.[1]
