Abstract Oil and protein percentages, ash, iodine value, fatty acid and sterol compositions were studied in 28 Arachis hypogaea L. cultivars originating from Ecuador. Results showed lower protein percentages in the varieties hypogaea (27.3%) and hirsuta (25.9%) than in the varieties fastigiata (29.4%), peruviana (29.4%), and aequatoriana (31.3%). The principal fatty acids were linoleic and oleic. The variety hypogaea exhibited higher concentrations of oleic acid (45.1%). The sterol composition showed higher concentration of β-sitosterol following by campesterol, stigmasterol, and Δ5-avenasterol.

Abstract Oleic acid (C18∶1), a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, is an important seed quality trait in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) because it provides enhanced fatty acid composition, a beneficial effect on human health, improved flavor, and increased shelf life for stored food products by delaying rancidity. Consequently, an emphasis has been placed on breeding peanuts with high levels of oleic acid and low levels of linoleic acid (C18∶2), a polyunsaturated, omega-6 fatty acid. Therefore, crosses were prepared between high oleic and normal peanut lines to develop segregating F2 populations. Total fatty acid composition and the ahFAD2B genotype were determined in the parents and progeny. The oleic to linoleic (O/L) ratio varied from 0.85 to 30.30 in the F2 progeny. Comparing the mean oleic acid values from the three genotypic classes (Ol2Ol2, Ol2ol2, and ol2ol2) in each population confirmed that the means were significantly different. Statistical analysis demonstrated that oleic acid was negatively correlated with linoleic (C18∶2) and palmitic acid (C16∶0), but was positively correlated with gadoleic (C20∶1) and lignoceric (C24∶0) fatty acids. This suggests that modifier genes may influence fatty acid composition. Principally, integration of genotyping and phenotyping data from segregating populations provided valuable insights on the genetic factors controlling total fatty acid composition.

The demand for vegetable oil, which is mainly used for dietary purposes and cooking, is steadily increasing worldwide. It is often desirable to reduce unsaturation levels of fatty acids in order to increase storage stability and reduce trans-fat generation during cooking. Functional disruption of FATTY ACID DESATURASE 2 (FAD2) prevents the conversion of monounsaturated oleic acid to polyunsaturated linoleic acid, thereby enhancing the production of the desirable oleic acid. However, FAD2 null alleles, due to growth defects under stress conditions, are impractical for agronomical purposes. Here, we aimed to attenuate FAD2 activity in planta while avoiding adverse growth effects by introducing amino-acid substitutions using CRISPR base editors. In Arabidopsis, we applied the adenine base editor (ABE) and cytosine base editor (CBE) to induce semi-random base substitutions within several selected FAD2 coding regions. Isolation of base-edited fad2 alleles with higher oleic acid revealed that the CBE application induced C-to-T and/or C-to-G base substitutions within the targeted sequences, resulting in an alteration of the FAD2 enzyme activities; for example, fad2-144 with multiple C-to-G base substitutions showed less growth defects but with a significant increase in oleic acids by 3-fold higher than wild type. Our “proof-of-concept” approach suggests that equivalent alleles may be generated in vegetable oil crops via precision genome editing for practical cultivation. Our targeted semi-random strategy may serve as a new complementary platform for planta engineering of useful agronomic traits.
