To date synthetic biology approaches involving creation of functional genetic modules are used in a wide range of organisms. In plants, such approaches are used both for research in the field of functional genomics and to increase the yield of agricultural crops. Of particular interest are methods that allow controlling genetic apparatus of the plants at post-translational level, which allow reducing non-targeted effects from interference with the plant genome. This review discusses recent advances in the plant synthetic biology for regulation of the plant metabolism at posttranslational level and highlights their future directions.
