Abstract

A novel soybean cultivar, designated 0509248, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of soybean cultivar 0509248, to the plants of soybean 0509248 and to methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing the cultivar 0509248 with itself or another soybean variety. The invention further relates to hybrid soybean seeds and plants produced by crossing the cultivar 0509248 with another soybean cultivar.

Claims

1. A seed of soybean cultivar designated 0509248, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cultivar was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-6730.

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. A protoplast produced from the tissue culture of claim 3.

5. The tissue culture of claim 3, wherein said regenerable cells are from a plant part selected from the group consisting of leaves, pollen, embryos, roots, root tips, anthers, pistils, flowers, seeds, pods, and stems.

6. A soybean plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 3, wherein the plant has all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of cultivar 0509248, a representative sample of seed of said cultivar having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-6730.

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

9. A male sterile soybean plant produced by the method of claim 8.

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

11. An herbicide resistant soybean plant produced by the method of claim 10.

12. The soybean plant of claim 11, wherein the transgene confers resistance to an herbicide selected from the group consisting of imidazolinone, sulfonylurea, glyphosate, glufosinate, L-phosphinothricin, triazine and benzonitrile.

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

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

15. The soybean plant of claim 14, wherein the transgene encodes a Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin.

16. A method of producing a disease resistant soybean plant comprising transforming the soybean plant of claim 2 with a transgene that confers disease resistance.

17. A disease resistant soybean plant produced by the method of claim 16.

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

19. A soybean plant having modified fatty acid metabolism or modified carbohydrate metabolism produced by the method of claim 18.

20. A soybean plant, or a part thereof, having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0509248, representative sample of seed of said cultivar having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-6730.

21. A method of introducing a desired trait into soybean cultivar 0509248 comprising:

(a) crossing 0509248 plants grown from 0509248 seed, a representative sample of seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-6730, with plants of another soybean cultivar that comprise and express a desired trait to produce progeny plants, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, and disease resistance;

(b) selecting one or more progeny plants that have and express the desired trait to produce selected progeny plants;

(c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the 0509248 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;

(d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have and express the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0509248 listed in Table 1 to produce selected backcross progeny plants; and

(e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times in succession to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise and express the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0509248 listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same environmental conditions.

22. A plant produced by the method of claim 21, wherein the plant has and expresses the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0509248 listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same environmental conditions.

23. The plant of claim 22 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.

24. The plant of claim 22 wherein the desired trait is insect resistance and the insect resistance is conferred by a transgene encoding a Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin.

25. The plant of claim 22 wherein the desired trait is male sterility and the trait is conferred by a cytoplasmic nucleic acid molecule that confers male sterility.

26. A method of modifying fatty acid metabolism or modifying carbohydrate metabolism of soybean cultivar 0509248 comprising:

(a) crossing 0509248 plants grown from 0509248 seed, representative sample of seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-6730, with plants of another soybean cultivar that comprise and express a nucleic acid molecule encoding an enzyme selected from the group consisting of phytase, fructosyltransferase, levansucrase, alpha-amylase, invertase and starch branching enzyme or encoding the antisense of a stearyl-ACP desaturase gene;

(b) selecting one or more progeny plants that have and express said nucleic acid molecule to produce selected progeny plants;

(c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the 0509248 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;

(d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have and express said nucleic acid molecule and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0509248 listed in Table 1 to produce selected backcross progeny plants; and

(e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times in succession to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise and express said nucleic acid molecule and have all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0509248 listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same environmental conditions.

27. A plant produced by the method of claim 26, wherein the plant comprises and expresses the nucleic acid molecule and has all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0509248 listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same environmental conditions.
