- Abstract
The article discusses a study which aims to determine the presence of PhaB Thrl173Ser (TS) genes in tobacco and its effect on the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) {P(3HB)}. Topics discussed include the construction of the plasmids, the selecion of Nicotiana tabacum cv Bright Yellow-2 (tobacco BY-2) as host, and the increase in the content of P(3HB) in tobacco expressing TS mutant.
