CRISPR/Cas9-mediated targeted editing of GmSH2 enhances sugar accumulation in vegetable soybean

Key Points

To investigate how CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing of GmSH2 affects sugar accumulation in vegetable soybean.
Targeted editing of the GmSH2 gene using CRISPR/Cas9 technology
Evaluation of sugar contents in edited soybean seeds
CRISPR/Cas9 editing significantly increased soluble sugar levels in soybeans
Seed carbon partitioning shifted from starch to sugars, enhancing sweetness

Abstract

Disrupting starch biosynthesis in soybeans redirects seed carbon partitioning toward soluble sugars, offering a genetic strategy to breed sweeter crops.
