Cloned (Comment) Organism
expression in Nicotiana tabacum under control of the constitutive plant promoter. The gene product is targeted into the plastid by fusing it to the sequence for the chloroplast transit peptide of the small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. Transgenic plants show high chorismate pyruvate-lyase activity and accumulate 4-hydroxybenzoate as beta-glucosides, with the glucose attached to either the hydroxy or the carboxyl function of 4-hydroxybenzoate. The total content of 4-hydroxybenzoate glucosides is approximately 0.52% of dry weight, which exceeds the content of untransformed plants by at least a factor of 1000 Escherichia coli
