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
