The health issues raised by trans-fatty acids have severely limited the use of soybean oil in fried food. Raising the level of oleic acid to ~80%, from ~20% found in commodity oil, reduces the need for hydrogenation and the resulting production of trans-fatty acids in processed soybean oil. The United Soybean Board has projected acreage of high oleic soybean to reach 18-23 million acres in the U.S. by 2023. To meet this demand, Cellectis plant sciences has now created non-transgenic high oleic soybean plants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe generation of Non Transgenic High Oleic Soybean in less than 15 months positions Cellectis plant sciences as a key trait provider in the field of AgBiotech,\u201d commented Luc Mathis CEO of Cellectis plant sciences. \u201cThe generation of non-transgenic traits has the potential to lower regulation costs, while providing products that show stable oil profiles over multiple generation, something that may be a challenge for transgenic technologies. With the technical success met in all our in-house programs in potato and oil crops, such as soybean and canola, the development of new commercial products relevant for the food industry has become the focus of our company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>References: Journal of Plant Biotechnology &#8211; Improved soybean oil quality by targeted mutagenesis of the fatty acid desaturase 2 gene family<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>William Haun, Andrew Coffman, Benjamin M.
