Abstract

A novel soybean cultivar, designated 915034, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of soybean cultivar 915034, to the plants of soybean 915034 and to methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing the cultivar 915034 with itself or another soybean variety. The invention further relates to hybrid soybean seeds and plants produced by crossing the cultivar 915034 with another soybean cultivar.

Claims

1. Seed of soybean line designated 915034, a representative sample of seed of the line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-______.

2. A soybean plant, or a part thereof, produced by growing the seed of claim 1.

3. A tissue culture of regenerable cells produced from the plant of claim 2.

4. Protoplasts produced from the tissue culture of claim 3.

5. The tissue culture of claim 3, wherein the cells are produced from a tissue selected from the group consisting of leaves, pollen, embryos, cotyledons, hypocotyls, meristematic cells, roots, root tips, anthers, flowers, stems and pods.

6. A soybean plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 3, wherein the plant has all the morphological and physiological characteristics of line 915034.

7. A method for producing an F1 hybrid soybean seed, comprising crossing the plant of claim 2 with a different soybean plant and harvesting the resultant F1 hybrid soybean seed.

8. A hybrid soybean seed produced by the method of claim 7.

9. A hybrid soybean plant, or a part thereof, produced by growing said hybrid seed of claim 8.

10. A method of producing a soybean seed wherein the method comprises growing said hybrid soybean plant of claim 9 and harvesting the resultant seed.

11. A method for producing a male sterile soybean plant wherein the method comprises transforming the soybean plant of claim 2 with a nucleic acid molecule that confers male sterility.

12. A male sterile soybean plant produced by the method of claim 11.

13. A method of producing an herbicide resistant soybean plant wherein the method comprises transforming the soybean plant of claim 2 with a transgene that confers herbicide resistance.

14. An herbicide resistant soybean plant produced by the method of claim 13.

15. The soybean plant of claim 14, wherein the transgene confers resistance to an herbicide selected from the group consisting of:

imidazolinone, sulfonylurea, glyphosate, glufosinate, L-phosphinothricin, triazine and benzonitrile.

16. A method of producing an insect resistant soybean plant wherein the method comprises transforming the soybean plant of claim 2 with a transgene that confers insect resistance.

17. An insect resistant soybean plant produced by the method of claim 16.

18. The soybean plant of claim 17, wherein the transgene encodes a Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin.

19. A method of producing a disease resistant soybean plant wherein the method comprises transforming the soybean plant of claim 2 with a transgene that confers disease resistance.

20. A disease resistant soybean plant produced by the method of claim 19.

21. A method of producing a soybean plant with modified fatty acid metabolism or modified carbohydrate metabolism wherein the method comprises transforming the soybean plant of claim 2 with a transgene encoding a protein selected from the group consisting of stearyl-ACP desaturase, fructosyltransferase, levansucrase, alpha-amylase, invertase and starch branching enzyme.

22. A soybean plant produced by the method of claim 21.

23. A soybean plant, or part thereof, having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the line 915034, a representative sample of seed of the line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-______.

24. A method of introducing a desired trait into soybean line 915034 wherein the method comprises:

(a) crossing a 915034 plant, representative seed having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-______, with a plant of another soybean line that comprises a desired trait to produce F1 progeny plants, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, and resistance to bacterial disease, fungal disease or viral disease;

(b) selecting progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected progeny plants;

(c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the 915034 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;

(d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean line 915034 listed in Table 1 to produce selected backcross progeny plants; and

(e) repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times in succession to produce selected second or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean line 915034 listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same environmental conditions.

25. A plant produced by the method of claim 24, wherein the plant has the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean line 915034 listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same environmental conditions.

26. The plant of claim 25 wherein the desired trait is herbicide resistance and the resistance is conferred to an herbicide selected from the group consisting of:

imidazolinone, sulfonylurea, glyphosate, glufosinate, L-phosphinothricin, triazine and benzonitrile.

27. The plant of claim 25 wherein the desired trait is insect resistance and the insect resistance is conferred by a transgene encoding a Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin.

28. The plant of claim 25 wherein the desired trait is male sterility and the trait is conferred by a cytoplasmic nucleic acid molecule that confers male sterility.

29. A method of modifying fatty acid metabolism or modified carbohydrate metabolism into soybean line 915034 wherein the method comprises:

(a) crossing a 915034 plant, representative seed having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-______, with a plant of another soybean line to produce F1 progeny plants that comprise a nucleic acid molecule encoding an enzyme selected from the group consisting of phytase, stearyl-ACP desaturase, fructosyltransferase, levansucrase, alpha-amylase, invertase and starch branching enzyme;

(b) selecting progeny plants that have said nucleic acid molecule to produce selected progeny plants;

(c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the 915034 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
