520 |a Genome editing is a revolution in biotechnology for crop improvement with the final product lacking transgenes. However, most derived traits have been generated through edits that create gene knockouts. Our study pioneers a novel approach, utilizing gene editing to enhance gene expression by eliminating transcriptional repressor binding motifs. Building upon our prior research demonstrating the protein-boosting effects of the transcription factor NF-YC4, we identified conserved motifs targeted by RAV and WRKY repressors in the NF-YC4 promoters from rice (Oryza sativa) and soybean (Glycine max). Leveraging CRISPR/Cas9 technology, we deleted these motifs, resulting in reduced repressor binding and increased NF-YC4 expression. This strategy led to increased protein content and reduced carbohydrate levels in the edited rice and soybean plants, with rice exhibiting up to a 68% increase in leaf protein and a 17% increase in seed protein, and soybean showing up to a 25% increase in leaf protein and an 11% increase in seed protein. Our findings provide a blueprint for enhancing gene expression through precise genomic deletions in noncoding sequences, promising improved agricultural productivity and nutritional quality
