Abstract
Synthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) in crop is viewed as an attractive approach for the production of this family of biodegradable plastics in large quantities and at low costs. Synthesisof PHAs containing various monomers has so far been demonstrated in the cytosol, plastids, and peroxisomes of plants. Several biochemical pathways have been modifies to achieve this, including the isoprenois pathway, the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway, and the fatty acid
