Abstract:
A recombinant vector comprising operatively linked in the 5â€² to 3â€² direction:a promoter functional in plants that directs transcription of a first nuclcic acid sequence, a second nucleic acid sequence, and a third nucleic acid sequence; a nucleic: acid sequence; a second nucleic acid sequence; a third nucleic acid sequence; a 3â€² transcription terminator; and a 3â€² polyadenylation signal sequence; wherein: the first nucleic acid sequence, second nucleic acid sequence, and third nucleic acid sequence encode different proteins; and the first nucleic acid sequence, second nucleic acid sequence, and third nucleic acid sequence are independently selected from the group consisting of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase protein, a nucleic acid sequence encoding a &bgr;-ketoacyl reductase protein, and a nucleic acid sequence encoding a &bgr;-ketothiolase protein.
