摘要: Transgenic plants, plant material, and cells for synthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates, preferably poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (also referred to a as PHB) are provided. Preferred plants that can be genetically engineered produce PHB include do not normally storage products such oils carbohydrates, have C4 NAD-malic enzyme photosynthetic pathway. Such also advantageously lignocellulosic biomass converted into biofuels. An exemplary is switchgrass, Panicum virgatum L. A preferred cultivar switchgrass Alamo. Other suitable cultivars but limited Blackwell, Kanlow, Nebraska 28, Pathfinder, Cave-in-Rock, Shelter Trailblazer.
