- Abstract
The article discusses the factors of formaldehyde (HCHO) assimilation in transgenic plants that were introduced to bacterial ribulose monophosphate pathway genes. Researchers discovered that the pathway genes could be integrated as a bypass to the Calvin-Benson cycle in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana and tobacco by genetic engineering. Results suggested a strategy for phytoremediation of HCHO pollution.
