Increased saturated fat in soybeans

Abstract

To provide products with higher nutrient content and greater stability, we offer soybean plants that produce oil with increased saturated fatty acid content. [Solution] A soybean plant, plant part, or plant cell comprising one or more mutations that modulate the expression of the SACPD-C gene, the FATB-1A gene, or both the SACPD-C and FATB-1A genes, wherein the plant, plant part, or plant cell produces oil having an increased saturated fatty acid content compared to oil produced from a corresponding soybean plant, plant part, or plant cell lacking one or more mutations, and the one or more mutations that modulate the expression of the SACPD-C gene comprises targeted mutations induced by low-frequency cleavage endonucleases.
