Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.18G167300
• Gene Symbol: GmFATA1
• Gene Name: acyl–acyl carrier protein thioesterase 1
• Genome: Wm82.a4.v1
• Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

• The acyl–acyl carrier protein thioesterases GmFATA1 and GmFATA2 are essential for fatty acid accumulation and growth in soybean.
• Using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing mutation of GmFATA1 or 2 led to reduced leaf FA content and growth defect at the early seedling stage.
• Combined transcriptomic and lipidomic analysis revealed a large number of genes involved in FA synthesis and FA chain elongation are expressed at reduced level in the GmFATA1 mutant, accompanied by a lower triacylglycerol abundance at the early seedling stage.
• Overexpression of GmFATA in soybean led to significant increases in leaf FA content by 5.7%, vegetative growth, and seed yield by 26.9%, and seed FA content by 23.2%. Thus, overexpression of GmFATA is an effective strategy to enhance soybean oil content and yield.
