Abstract
Soybean seeds with increased protein and having a modified expression or activity of at least one or two HECT E3 ligase polypeptides are provided. Methods for modifying expression or activity of HECT E3 ligase polypeptides and polynucleotides include genome editing to modify the transcription regulatory region or sequence encoding the HECT E3 ligase polypeptides and transformation with recombinant DNA constructs to enhance or suppress expression or activity of the HECT E3 ligase polypeptides. Plants containing the modifications produce seeds with altered composition such as one or more of increased protein, decreased soluble carbohydrate, increased oleic acid, decreased saturated fats such as palmitic and stearic acids, and decreased linoleic or linolenic acid.
