Abstract
Soybean plants with one or more non-transgenic human-induced mutations of the phytate transport genes, LPA-3 and LPA-19, and the agglutinin gene, LEC1, are disclosed. Soybean plants and seeds having reduced levels of phytate and/or lectin as a result of such non-transgenic human-induced mutations are provided. Meal prepared from soybean seeds provided herein is useful, for example, as a source of food or feed for poultry, human, swine, or fish, wherein the food or feed has reduced levels of antinutrient factors, including phytate and lectin.
