Genomic and molecular tools have made great impacts on plant biotechnology and offer potential for manipulation of carotenoids as natural colorants and also for applications in human and animal health. While microbial and other non-plant systems have been successfully used, plant modification eliminates need for expensive bioreactors and offers economically feasible opportunities for less developed nations for production of nutraceuticals and other chemical products.

Although for many decades the primary interest in the production of PHAs has been as a source of biodegradable plastics and elastomers, PHA synthesis in plants has opened novel avenues for the use of these polymers in both plant biotechnology and basic research.

The key enzymes involved in the formation of the hydroxycinnamic acids (HCAs) from phenylalanine and malonyl-CoA are now discussed in detail, while later sections address the branches of the flavonoid pathway leading to anthocyanins, aurones, flavones, flavonols, PAs, and isotlavonoids. This is followed by brief reviews of the regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis and the use of flavonoid genes in plant biotechnology. To assist the reader. Figure 3.1 presents the carbon numbering for the various flavonoid types discussed.

The development of T-DNA binary vectors revolutionalized the use of Agrobacteria to introduce genes into plants. A large number of binary vectors have been designed for highly specialized purposes and are commonly used in plant biotechnology today.
