Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) technology has revolutionized creating targeted genetic variation in crops. Although CRISPR enzymes have been reported to have high sequence-specificity, careful design of the editing reagents can also reduce unintended edits at highly homologous sites. This work details the first large-scale study of the heritability of on-target edits and the rate of edits at off-target sites in soybean (<i>Glycine max</i>), assaying ~700 T1 plants each resulting from transformation with LbCas12a constructs containing CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) predicted to be either "unique" with no off-target sites or "promiscuous" with >10 potential off-targets in the soybean genome. Around 80% of the on-target edits observed in T0 plants were inherited in the T1 generation, and ~49% of the total observed on-target edits in T1 were not observed at T0, indicating continued activity of LbCas12a throughout the life cycle of the plant. In planta editing at off-target sites was observed for the Promiscuous but not the Unique crRNA. Examination of the edited off-target sites revealed that LbCas12a was highly tolerant to mismatches between the crRNA and target site in bases 21-23 relative to the start of the protospacer, but even a single mismatch in the first 20 nt drastically reduced the editing rate. In addition, edits at off-target sites have lower inheritance rates than on-target edits, suggesting that they occur later in the plant's lifecycle. Plants with a desired on-target edit and no off-target edits could be identified in the T1 generation for 100% of the T0 plants edited with the Unique crRNA compared with the 65% of T0 plants edited with the Promiscuous crRNA. This confirms that proper crRNA selection can reduce or eliminate off-target editing. Even when potential off-target sites are predicted, plants containing only the intended edits can still be identified and propagated.
