Abstract

A novel soybean cultivar, designated 0509255, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of soybean cultivar 0509255, to the plants of soybean 0509255 and to methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing the cultivar 0509255 with itself or another soybean variety. The invention further relates to hybrid soybean seeds and plants produced by crossing the cultivar 0509255 with another soybean cultivar.

Claims

1. A seed of soybean cultivar designated 0509255, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cultivar was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7634.

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

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 0509255.

7. A method for producing an F1hybrid 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 wherein the method comprises 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 wherein the method comprises 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 wherein the method comprises 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 wherein the method comprises 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 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, alpha-amylase, invertase, and starch branching enzyme or encoding an antisense 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. A protoplast produced from the plant of claim 2.

20. A soybean plant, or part thereof, having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0509255.

21. A method of introducing a desired trait into soybean cultivar 0509255 wherein the method comprises:

(a) crossing a 0509255 plant, wherein a representative sample of seed was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-634, with a plant of another soybean cultivar that comprises a desired trait to produce F1progeny 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 one or more F1 progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected progeny plants;

(c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the 0509255 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 0509255 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 0509255 listed in Table 1.

22. A 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 0509255 listed in Table 1.

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 nucleic acid molecule.

26. A method of modifying fatty acid metabolism or modifying carbohydrate metabolism of soybean cultivar 0509255 wherein the method comprises:

(a) crossing a 0509255 plant, wherein a representative sample of seed was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7634, with a plant of another soybean cultivar to produce F1 progeny plants 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 F1 progeny plants that have said nucleic acid molecule to produce selected progeny plants;

(c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the 0509255 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;

(d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have said nucleic acid molecule and physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0509255 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 said nucleic acid molecule and have all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 0509255 listed in Table 1.
