摘要

Modification of plant hormone biosynthesis through the introduction of bacterial genes is a natural form of genetic engineering, which has been exploited in numerous studies on hormone function. Recently, biosynthetic pathways have been largely elucidated for most of the plant hormone classes, and genes encoding many of the enzymes have been cloned. These advances offer new opportunities to manipulate hormone content in order to study their mode of action and the regulation of their biosynthesis. Furthermore, this technology is providing the means to introduce agriculturally useful traits into crops.
