CRISPR/Cas9 Based Site-Specific Modification of FAD2 cis-Regulatory Motifs in Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L)

Anjanasree K. Neelakandan et al.

Summary: Peanut seed is a rich source of edible oil, and the ratio of oleic acid to linoleic acid in the oil is important for commercial oil quality. This study used CRISPR/Cas9 technology to downregulate the expression of two FAD2 genes in peanut seeds, resulting in an increase in oleic acid levels. The results demonstrate the potential of CRISPR/Cas9 for regulating gene expression and studying functional genomics in peanuts.

Comparative Analysis and Structural Modeling of Elaeis oleifera FAD2, a Fatty Acid Desaturase Involved in Unsaturated Fatty Acid Composition of American Oil Palm

Rayda Ben Ayed et al.

Summary: Palm oil is the most important vegetable oil in terms of production, and its demand is rapidly increasing worldwide. This study identified two SNP markers in the FAD2 gene that are significantly correlated with palm oil quality. The research provides insights into the mechanism of fatty acid synthesis in palm oil and supports the use of molecular biology techniques to improve its quality.

Novel Allele of FAD2-1A from an EMS-Induced Mutant Soybean Line (PE529) Produces Elevated Levels of Oleic Acid in Soybean Oil

Hyun Jo et al.

Summary: Soybean breeders are focused on increasing the concentration of oleic acid in soybean seed oils to improve oil quality. This study identified a new mutant allele of the FAD2-1A gene, PE529, which produces soybean seeds with over 40% oleic acid. This discovery provides valuable genetic resources for improving soybean oil quality in breeding programs.

Combination of the Elevated Stearic Acid Trait with Other Fatty Acid Traits in Soybean

Erik L. Gaskin et al.

Summary: Stearic acid, a major fatty acid in soybean oil, has neutral or positive effects on health. By combining mutated genes, soybeans can be engineered to have increased stearic acid levels along with elevated oleic acid levels.

An Update on Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Health

Andrew Elagizi et al.

Summary: Interest in the potential cardiovascular benefits of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3) began in the 1940s, but there has been controversy due to conflicting results among studies and meta-analyses. Recent large, randomized trials showed discordant findings, with one using a higher dose of omega-3 showing a significant reduction in cardiovascular events. The conflicting results in clinical trials may be due to inadequate dosing of omega-3 and aggressive treatment with other effective therapies.

Identification and Evolutionary Analysis of FAD2 Gene Family in Green Plants

Shijiang Cao et al.

Summary: This study identified 253 candidate FAD2 genes from the genomes of 79 plants, and classified them into three categories based on phylogenetic analysis. The study also found that the number of introns in FAD2 genes decreases with the evolution of green plants, with introns mainly located in the 5'UTR and CDS regions. The research provides theoretical support for further analysis of the evolution of the FAD2 gene family.

The Land-Water-Food-Environment nexus in the context of China's soybean import

Dandan Ren et al.

Summary: Soybean import accounts for 90% of China's total domestic soybean supply, impacting agricultural land use, crop production, water usage and N fertilizer application. The study found that converted soybean areas were mainly used for maize, rice, vegetables, and fruits, resulting in decreased soybean production but increased production of other crops. Irrigation water use and N fertilizer application also increased significantly on the converted areas.

Increasing Monounsaturated Fatty Acid Contents in Hexaploid Camelina sativa Seed Oil by FAD2 Gene Knockout Using CRISPR-Cas9

Kyeong-Ryeol Lee et al.

Summary: Through CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene editing, knockout of all three pairs of CsFAD2 homoeologs in Camelina led to stunted growth but significantly increased MUFA levels in seeds by 80%. Additionally, transformants with two pairs of CsFAD2 homoeologs knocked out while the other pair wild-type heterozygous showed normal growth and increased seed MUFAs production up to 60%. These findings suggest a potential approach for metabolic engineering and gene editing to modulate fatty acid composition in polyploid crops.
