Abstract

A novel soybean cultivar, designated 0509243, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of soybean cultivar 0509243, to the plants of soybean 0509243 and to methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing the cultivar 0509243 with itself or another soybean variety. The invention further relates to hybrid soybean seeds and plants produced by crossing the cultivar 0509243 with another soybean cultivar.

Claims

1. A seed of soybean cultivar 0509243, wherein a representative sample of seed was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7398.

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

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

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

5. The tissue culture of cells of claim 3, wherein said cells of the tissue culture are produced from a plant part selected from the group consisting of leaf, pollen, embryo, root, root tip, anther, pistil, cotyledon, hypocotyl, flower, seed, pod, and stem.

6. A soybean plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 3, wherein the regenerated plant has all the morphological and physiological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0509243 and wherein a representative sample of seed of soybean cultivar 0509243 was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7398.

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.

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 an anti-sense of stearyl-ACP desaturase.

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

28. Pollen of the plant of claim 2.

29. An ovule of the plant of claim 2.

20. A soybean plant, or part thereof, having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0509243, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cultivar was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7398.

21. A method of introducing a desired trait into soybean cultivar 0509243 wherein the method comprises:

(a) crossing 0509243 plants grown from 0509243 seed, wherein a representative sample of seed was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7398, with plants of another soybean-line soybean cultivar that comprise 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 the desired trait to produce selected progeny plants;

(c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the 0509243 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 0509243 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 the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0509243 listed in Table 1.

22. A soybean plant produced by the method of claim 21, wherein the plant has the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0509243 listed in Table 1.

23. The soybean 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 bezonitrile.

24. The soybean 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 soybean plant of claim 22, wherein the desired trait is male sterility and the trait is conferred by a nucleic acid molecule.

26. A method of modifying fatty acid metabolism or modifying carbohydrate metabolism of soybean cultivar 0509243 wherein the method comprises:

(a) crossing 0509243 plants grown from 0509243 seed, wherein a representative sample of seed was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7398, with plants of another soybean cultivar that comprise 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 an antisense of stearyl-ACP desaturase;

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

(c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the 0509243 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;

(d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have said nucleic acid molecule and have all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0509243 listed in Table 1 to produce selected backcross progeny plants; and
