Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS2B02G309500
• Gene Symbol: TaSBEIIa-B
• Gene Name: 1,4-alpha-glucan-branching enzyme 2
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• The generation of high-amylose wheat through targeted mutagenesis of TaSBEIIa in a modern winter wheat cv Zhengmai 7698 (ZM) and a spring wheat cv Bobwhite by CRISPR/Cas9, respectively.
• Modification of starch composition, structure and properties through editing of TaSBEIIa in both winter and spring wheat varieties by CRISPR/Cas9.
• Inheritance and stability of the mutations and generation of transgene-free wheat TasbeIIa mutant lines.
• Modification of the starch composition, structure and properties through gene editing of TaSBEIIa in both winter and spring wheat varieties.
• Our finding provides deep insights on the role of TaSBEIIa in determining starch composition, structure, properties and end-use quality in different genetic backgrounds and improving RS content with multiple breeding and end-use applications in cereal crop species through genome editing for health benefits.
