Reivindicación 1: Un método para crear plantas de soja que presentan semillas que tienen un contenido de ácido oleico de entre aproximadamente 65% y aproximadamente 85%, caracterizado porque comprende cruzar una primera planta de soja que presenta un alelo mutante no funcional de FAD2-1A con una segunda planta de soja que presenta un alelo mutante no funcional de FAD2-1B, de manera tal de obtener un rendimiento elevado de ácido oleico en el aceite proveniente de las semillas provenientes de las plantas que se originan en dicho cruzamiento, de al menos 65%. The present invention is directed to a soybean plant with mutations in FAD2-1A and FAD2-1B. Moreover, the present invention is directed to seeds from said plants with altered ratios of monosaturated and polyunsaturated fats. In particular, the present invention is directed to plants where the plants exhibit elevated levels of oleic acid.
