Mutagenesis of FAD2 genes in peanut with CRISPR/Cas9 based gene editing

Abstract Background Increasing the content of oleic acid in peanut seeds is one of the major goals in peanut breeding due to consumer and industry benefits, such as anti-oxidation and long shelf-life. Homeologous ahFAD2A and ahFAD2B genes encode fatty acid desaturases, which are the key enzymes for...
