  • How is soybean oil quality improved?
  • Oil quality of soybean has been improved by increasing monounsaturated oleic acid and decreasing polyunsaturated fats through TALEN- and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis of fatty acid desaturase-2 genes ( FAD2¨C1A and FAD2¨C1B) (al Amin et al. 2019; Do et al. 2019; Haun et al. 2014; Wu et al. 2020 ).
  • How are high oleic acid soybean varieties created?
  • Here, we report the creation of high oleic acid soybean varieties using targeted mutagenesis with transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) (Voytas, 2013). TALENs were engineered to bind and cleave specific DNA sequence targets in the FAD2-1Aand FAD2-1Bgenes.
  • Why is high oleic acid soybean oil desirable?
  • Discussion High oleic acid soybean oil is desirable because it has a longer shelf life, enhanced heat stability and does not require hydrogenation, a process that produces unhealthy trans-fatty acids.
  • Do mutant Soybean plants produce more oleic acid?
  • The resulting mutant soybean plants produced nearly four times more oleic acid than the wild-type parents (80% vs. 20%, respectively). Further, the soybean lines lacked foreign DNA in their genomes and are thus not transgenic. Rather, they only have small deletions of coding sequence in the FAD2-1 gene targets.
