Estimating the term…
Provided herein are genome edited plants and plant parts that comprise increased amino acid content. In particular, the amino acids include tryptophan (Trp) and methionine (Met). Seed of the genome edited plants and plant parts can comprise increased Trp and/or Met. The genome edited plants and plant parts have genetic mutations in an anthranilate synthase gene including a gene encoding an alpha subunit of anthranilate synthase and/or a homocysteine S-methyltransferase gene. The genome edited plants and plant parts include soybean and pea. Also provided herein are compositions and methods of producing such plants and plant parts, and plant products including compositions comprising increased Trp and/or Met content.
A plant or plant part comprising a genetic mutation in at least one endogenous AS gene or homolog thereof encoding an anthranilate synthase and/or HMT gene or homolog thereof encoding a homocysteine S-methyltransferase, wherein the mutated plant or plant part comprises increased tryptophan (Trp) and/or methionine (Met) amino acid content as compared to a control.
