TALEN compositions and methods of use are disclosed, which include using multiplexing compositions to create a targeted mutation in several genes at once, such as the FAD3 A/B/C genes, compositions to create a targeted mutation in a single gene, such as a gene encoding a FAD2 protein, and combinations thereof. The compositions and methods can provide gene-edited plants, plant parts, and plant cells that have improved characteristics compared to the corresponding unaltered plants, plant parts, or plant cells. For example, soybean plants, plant parts and plant cells that are capable of producing a seed with an oil having comparatively higher levels of oleic acid and lower levels of linoleic and linolenic acid than a corresponding seed lacking the targeted mutation are also provided.
