[0038] (3) Preparation of explants: Pour 30 ml of Agrobacterium suspension into a Petri dish. Use a scalpel blade to make a longitudinal cut along the hilum to separate the cotyledons and remove the seed coat. The embryonic axis at the junction of the hypocotyl and cotyledon is excised to obtain semi-seed explants. Prepare 50 explants for each Petri dish of Agrobacterium suspension. Ensure that the entire explant is suspended in the suspension. After 30 min of infection, transfer the explants to solid co-culture medium with sterilized forceps, 15 explants per dish, placed horizontally.

[0040] (4) Shoot induction and screening: Place the explants on SI medium without a screening agent (15 explants per dish). Seal the Petri dish with breathable tape and culture under light for 7 d (26 °C, 18 h light / 6 h dark photoperiod). Then cut off the elongated hypocotyls under the cotyledons and transfer the explant tissues to SI medium containing a screening agent for 21 d of light culture (7 explants per dish).

After 2 weeks, when the stems have grown more than 2 roots, transplant them into the soil and acclimatize the seedlings. Cultivate them under light at 26°C for about 1 week, and the seedlings will survive.

The plants that amplify the target fragment size band are transgenic plants. The positive detection method uses the forward primer Cas9-detection F (5’-CCGACGAGTACAAGGTGCCCA-3’) and the reverse primer Cas9-detectionR (5’-GGCGATCAGATTTTCCAGCC-3’) for PCR amplification detection respectively. The electrophoresis detection results are as Figure 2 shown. The transgenic plants that obtain the target amplification product have inserted the T-DNA fragment, while the transgenic plants without the target product have not inserted the T-DNA fragment.

[0047] Extract the DNA of positive plants, and use the primers GmActin F (5’-CGGTGGTTCTATCTTGGCATC-3’) / GmActin R (5’-GTCTTTCGCTTCAATAACCCTA-3’) to detect the quality of the DNA by PCR. The reaction system is as follows: template DNA 1 μL; 2×Rapid Taq Master Mix 7.5 μL; 0.5 μL of each upstream and downstream primer; ddH2O 5.5 μL.

[0049] Example 4: Construction of CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing vector and soybean genetic transformation Using the cloned GmTC1a-1 as the target gene, two 19nt+PAM (NGG) sequences with GC contents of 65% and 47% respectively, which are located within the first exon of the GmTC1a gene, were selected as the target sequences. The CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing target sites are as shown in Figure 5 shown. Referring to the CRISPR / Cas9 vector construction process and system, the CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing vector pCBSG015- 35S::GmTC1a-1 -Cas9 was successfully constructed, and it was respectively transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA105 . Positive monoclonal colonies were selected for the genetic transformation of Tianlong No. 1. The soybean genetic transformation process is as shown in Figure 6 shown.

[0050] Example 5: Phenotype and function verification After sequencing and alignment analysis, the results are as shown inFigure 7 As shown, among the 4 obtained T2-generation CRISPR / Cas9 gene-edited plants without exogenous Cas9 genes, the genes in plants numbered TC1a-03, TC1a-04, and TC1a-07 GmTC1a-1 were all effectively edited and were homozygous mutants. In plants TC1a-03 and TC1a-04, GmTC1a-1 the gene was deleted by 460bp (-460bp deletion), resulting in a frameshift mutation in the gene reading frame. At the 81st base after the PAM site of the target sequence SG1, the stop codon "TGA" was encountered and translation terminated; while in plant TC1a-07, GmTC1a-1 the gene was deleted by 4bp (-4bp deletion). At the 73rd base after the PAM site of the target sequence SG2, the stop codon "TGA" was encountered and translation terminated prematurely.

[0051] Analysis of the seed oil content of CRISPR / Cas9 gene-edited materials: The seed oil content of the obtained CRISPR / Cas9 gene-edited homozygous mutant plants was measured by a near-infrared analyzer. The results showed that the crude fat contents of the seeds of gene-edited materials TC1a-03, TC1a-04, and TC1a-07 were 25.32%, 25.41%, and 23.91% respectively ( Figure 8 ), which were significantly higher than those of the control (WT, Tianlong No. 1, with a crude fat content of 22.15%). Among them, the crude fat contents of the seeds of TC1a-03 and TC1a-04 were significantly higher than those of the control ( Figure 8 ), indicating that the oil content of soybean seeds increased after the GmTC1a-1 protein was deleted.

[0052] Analysis of the 100-seed weight of CRISPR / Cas9 gene-edited materials: The 100-seed weight of the obtained CRISPR / Cas9 gene-edited homozygous mutant seeds was measured. The results showed that the 100-seed weights of the seeds of gene-edited materials TC1a-03, TC1a-04, and TC1a-07 were 23.2g, 22.8g, and 21.3g respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the control (WT, Tianlong No. 1, with a 100-seed weight of 20.5g). Among them, the 100-seed weights of the seeds of TC1a-03 and TC1a-04 were significantly higher than those of the control ( Figure 9 ), indicating that the 100-seed weight of soybean seeds also increased after the GmTC1a-1 protein was deleted.

[0053] In soybean breeding, in the later stage, plants with high oil content or heavy seed weight can be screened by detecting the GmTC1a-1 gene mutation for use in the breeding of hybrid offspring.
