TL;DR: Analysis of the metabolite composition of transgenic Arabidopsis plants expressing the three enzymes encoding the biosynthetic route to polyhydroxybutyrate showed that the accumulation of high levels of PHB was not accompanied by an appreciable change in either the composition or the amount of fatty acids, thus demonstrating the large potential of plants to produce this renewable resource.

TL;DR: In this article, isolated nucleic acids and proteins associated with lipid and sugar metabolism regulation are provided, in particular, lipid metabolism proteins (LMP) and encoding nucleic acid originating from Arabidopsis thaliana.

TL;DR: In this organism, proteolytic cleavage of CelA at or near a putative linker region resulted in the appearance of two active polypeptides of molecular masses 57 and 47 kDa, which was the full-length enzyme while the latter consisted of the catalytic domain from which the cellulose-binding domain (CBD) had been removed (CelA delta CBD).

TL;DR: In this paper, isolated nucleic acids and proteins associated with lipid and sugar metabolism regulation are provided, in particular lipid metabolism proteins (LMP) and encoding nucleic acid originating from Arabidopsis thaliana, Brassica napus, Glycine max, Oryza sativa, and Triticum aestivum.

TL;DR: The generation of novel transgenic plants expressing an Escherichia coli phosphoglucomutase under the control of the 35S promoter is described, characterised by an accumulation of leaf sucrose, despite displaying no alterations in photosynthetic carbon partitioning, and a reduced tuber starch content.
