The invention discloses a soybean FAD2
gene mutation site, a
specific identification primer and a method for increasing the content of
oleic acid in soybean, the soybean provided for the first time after the
specific mutation sites of FAD2-1A and FAD2-1B genes are mutated can significantly increase the relative content of
oleic acid in soybean seeds, the relative content reaches 70% or above, and meanwhile the content of
linoleic acid is reduced to 20% or below. When the specific primer is used for detecting the corresponding
mutant gene, a specific band exists, the efficiency reaches 100%, and the accuracy is high. The
mutation does not influence the
normal growth and development and other agronomic characters of the soybeans while obviously improving the
oleic acid content, ensures the yield and other comprehensive properties of the soybeans, and is beneficial to large-scale popularization and planting. The
mutation site and related technologies have wide application prospects in soybean breeding and
soybean product production, can be used for cultivating different types of
high oleic acid soybean varieties, meet various market requirements, and also can be used for improving the quality of various soybean products.
