Commercialization of plant-derived polyhydroxyalkanoates will require the creation of transgenic crop plants that possess high product yields, normal plant phenotypes, and transgenes that are stable over several generations. The studies included in this review describe the progress that has been mad

The production of polyhydroxyalkanoates in plants is an interesting commercial prospect due to lower carbon feedstock costs and capital investments. The production of poly-(3-hydroxybutyrate) has already been successfully demonstrated in plant plastids, and the production of more complex polymers is
## Abstract The mechanisms of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production have been studied for over half a century. However, despite numerous improvements in the control of monomer composition, geneticallyβengineered host organisms, fermentation strategies and polymer recovery processes they remain unco
