Soybean TILLING-by-sequencing+ reveals the role of novel GmSACPD members in unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis while maintaining healthy nodules
Summary
Manipulating seed oil content and composition is a major goal for plant biotechnologists. Some of these modifications generate undesired effects, affecting plant growth and yield, and, thereby, decreasing market value. In this work, Lakhssassi et al (2020) describe the application of an improved TILLING technique (TILLING-bysequencing+) that was successful in obtaining soybean lines with mutations in novel members of the GmSACPD family. These lines showed higher stearic acid levels without compromising nodulation and growth yield.
