Abstract

A novel soybean cultivar, designated A5547, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of soybean cultivar A5547, to the plants of soybean A5547 and to methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing the cultivar A5547 with itself or another soybean variety. The invention further relates to hybrid soybean seeds and plants produced by crossing the cultivar A5547 with another soybean cultivar.

Claims

1. A soybean seed designated A5547 deposited as ATCC Accession Number 97926.

2. A plant or plants of the soybean cultivar designated A5547 produced by growing the seed of claim 1.

3. Pollen of the plant of claim 2.

4. Ovule or ovules of the plant of claim 2.

5. A soybean plant with all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the soybean plant of claim 2.

6. Tissue culture of the plant of claim 2.

7. A soybean plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 6 wherein the regenerated soybean plant has all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of a plant grown from a soybean seed designated A5547.

8. A method to produce a hybrid soybean seed comprising the steps of:

a) planting in pollinating proximity seeds of soybean cultivar A5547 wherein the seeds of soybean cultivar A5547 are deposited as ATCC Accession Number 97926 and another soybean cultivar;

b) cultivating soybean plants resulting from said seeds until said plants bear flowers;

c) emasculating the male flowers of the plants of either one or the other soybean cultivar;

d) inducing cross pollination to occur between said soybean cultivars; and

,

e) harvesting seeds produced on said emasculated plants of the cultivar line.

9. A first generation (F₁)hybrid soybean plant produced by growing said hybrid soybean seed of claim 8.
