Abstract
The invention relates to genes encoding polyhydroxyalkanoate synthases. Compositions and methods for producing polyhydroxyalkanoate are provided. Such compositions and methods find use in producing biodegradable thermoplastics in host cells and transgenic plants. Isolated nucleotide molecules, isolated polypeptides, expression cassettes and genetically manipulated host cells, plants, plant tissues, plant cells and seeds are also provided.
