Background: The study reviews on alternative source for plastics from plant

material. In past several decades synthetic plastics were used. This produces
harmful effect on living and environment. Bioplastics are long chain of
monomers joined with each other by ester bond these plastics are considered
as polyesters. The most common types are PHA (Polyhydroxyalkonate) &
PHB (Polyhydroxybutarate). PHA which is also an energy storage material in
Microorganisms PHA pathway already exist in some plants upon introduction
of Recombinant Technology Plasmid concept which increases the percentage
yield of PHA & PHB in the plants. The main objective of this study is to
present the general information on various plants that can be modified to
better PHA and PHB yield in transgenic plants. Methodology: The transgenic
plants were selected based on the review of scientific articles like scholar,
pubmed, springer, etc. Results: The plants selected are maize, thale cress,
rapeseed, Siberian oilseed, sugarcane and tobacco. Thus, transgenic
modification of plants shows increase in percentage yield of PHA and PHB
content. Conclusion: From this we conclude that transgenic triats shows
increase in percentage yield of PHA and PHB content than in normal traits.
