One of the targets in oil palm genetic engineering programme is the production of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and polyhydroxybutyrate-co-valerate (PHBV) in the oil palm leaf tissues. Production of PHB requires the use of phbA (β-ketothiolase type A), phbB (acetoacetyl-CoA reductase) and phbC (PHB synt...
