Abstract

A novel soybean cultivar, designated 0491714, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of soybean cultivar 0491714, to the plants of soybean 0491714 and to methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing the cultivar 0491714 with itself or another soybean variety. The invention further relates to hybrid soybean seeds and plants produced by crossing the cultivar 0491714 with another soybean cultivar.

Claims

1. A seed of a soybean cultivar designated 0491714 wherein a representative sample of seed was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7286.

2. A soybean plant, or a part thereof, of soybean cultivar 0491714, wherein a representative sample of seed of said soybean cultivar was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7286.

3. Pollen of the plant of claim 2.

4. An ovule of the plant of claim 2.

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

6. The tissue culture according to claim 5, wherein said regenerable cells of the tissue culture are derived from a plant part selected from the group consisting of leaves, pollen, embryos, cotyledons, hypocotyls, meristematic cells, roots, root tips, anthers, flowers, seeds, stems and pods.

7. A soybean plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 5, wherein the regenerated plant has all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0491714 and wherein a representative sample of seed of said soybean cultivar was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7286.

8. A method for producing a hybrid soybean seed wherein the method comprises crossing a first parent soybean plant with a second parent soybean plant and harvesting the resultant hybrid soybean seed, wherein said first parent soybean plant or said second parent soybean plant is the soybean plant of claim 2.

9. A method for producing a soybean plant that contains in its genetic material a transgene, wherein the method comprises crossing the soybean plant of claim 2 with either a second plant of another soybean cultivar which contains a transgene or a transformed soybean plant of the soybean cultivar 0491714 so that the genetic material of the progeny that result from the cross contains a transgene operably linked to a regulatory element wherein said transgene confers a trait selected from the group consisting of herbicide resistance, insect resistance, and disease resistance.

10. 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 fructosyltransferase, levansucrase, α

-amlyase, invertase and starch branching enzyme or encoding an antisense of stearyl-ACP desaturase.

11. A soybean plant having modified fatty acid metabolism or modified carbohydrate metabolism produced by the method of claim 10.

12. A method of introducing a desired trait into soybean cultivar 0491714 wherein the method comprises:

(a) crossing the 0491714 plants, grown from seed deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7286, with plants of another soybean cultivar that comprise a desired trait to produce progeny plants, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of herbicide resistance, insect resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism and resistance to bacterial, fungal or viral disease;

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

(c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the 0491714 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;

(d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0491714 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 the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics or soybean cultivar 0491714 as described in the VARIETY DESCRIPTION INFORMATION.

13. A plant produced by the method of claim 12, wherein the plant has the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0491714 as described in the VARIETY DESCRIPTION INFORMATION.

14. The plant of claim 13 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.

15. The plant of claim 13 wherein the desired trait is insect resistance and the insect resistance is conferred by a transgene encoding a Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin.

16. The plant of claim 13 wherein the desired trait is modified fatty acid metabolism or modified carbohydrate metabolism and said desired trait is conferred by a nucleic acid encoding a protein selected from the group consisting of fructosyltransferase, levansucrase, α

-amlyase, invertase and starch branching enzyme or encoding an antisense of stearyl-ACP desaturase.
