Abstract

A soybean cultivar designated S090251 is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of soybean cultivar S090251, to the plants of soybean S090251, to plant parts of soybean cultivar S090251, and to methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing soybean cultivar S090251 with itself or with another soybean variety. The invention also relates to methods for producing a soybean plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic soybean plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to soybean cultivars, or breeding cultivars, and plant parts derived from soybean variety S090251, to methods for producing other soybean cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from soybean cultivar S090251, and to the soybean plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid soybean seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing the cultivar S090251 with another soybean cultivar.

Claims

1. A seed of soybean cultivar S090251, representative sample seed of said cultivar is deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-11206.

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

3. A tissue culture produced from protoplasts or cells from the plant of claim 2, wherein said cells or protoplasts are produced from a plant part selected from the group consisting of leaf, pollen, ovule, embryo, cotyledon, hypocotyl, meristematic cell, root, root tip, pistil, anther, flower, seed, shoot, stem, pod and petiole.

4. A soybean plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 3.

5. A method for producing a soybean seed, said method comprising crossing two soybean plants and harvesting the resultant soybean seed, wherein at least one soybean plant is the soybean plant of claim 2.

6. A soybean seed produced by the method of claim 5.

7. A soybean plant, or a part thereof, produced by growing said seed of claim 6.

8. The method of claim 5, wherein at least one of said soybean plants is transgenic.

9. A method of producing an herbicide resistant soybean plant, wherein said method comprises introducing a gene conferring herbicide resistance into the plant of claim 2.

10. A herbicide resistant soybean plant produced by the method of claim 9, wherein the gene confers resistance to a herbicide selected from the group consisting of glyphosate, sulfonylurea, imidazolinone, dicamba, glufosinate, phenoxy proprionic acid, L-phosphinothricin, cyclohexone, cyclohexanedione, triazine, and benzonitrile.

11. A method of producing a pest or insect resistant soybean plant, wherein said method comprises introducing a gene conferring pest or insect resistance into the soybean plant of claim 2.

12. A pest or insect resistant soybean plant produced by the method of claim 11.

13. The soybean plant of claim 12, wherein the gene encodes a Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) endotoxin.

14. A method of producing a disease resistant soybean plant, wherein said method comprises introducing a gene which confers disease resistance into the soybean plant of claim 2.

15. A disease resistant soybean plant produced by the method of claim 14.

16. A method of producing a soybean plant with modified fatty acid metabolism or modified carbohydrate metabolism, wherein the method comprises introducing a gene encoding a protein selected from the group consisting of phytase, fructosyltransferase, levansucrase, α

-amylase, invertase and starch branching enzyme or encoding an antisense of stearyl-ACP desaturase into the soybean plant of claim 2.

17. A soybean plant having modified fatty acid metabolism or modified carbohydrate metabolism produced by the method of claim 16.

23. A method of producing a commodity plant product, comprising obtaining the plant of claim 2, or a part thereof, and producing a commodity plant product from said plant or part thereof, wherein the commodity plant product is selected from the group consisting of:

protein concentrate, protein isolate, soybean hulls, meal, flour and oil.

18. A method of introducing a desired trait into soybean cultivar S090251, wherein the method comprises:

(a) crossing a S090251 plant, wherein a representative sample of seed is deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-11206, with a plant of another soybean cultivar that comprises a desired trait to produce progeny plants wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism, modified seed yield, modified oil percent, modified protein percent, modified lodging resistance, modified shattering, modified iron-deficiency chlorosis and resistance to bacterial disease, fungal disease 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 S090251 plant to produce backcross progeny plants;

(d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar S090251 listed in Table 1; and

(e) repeating steps (c) and (d) two or more times in succession to produce selected third or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar S090251 listed in Table 1.

19. A soybean plant produced by the method of claim 18, wherein the plant has the desired trait.

20. The soybean plant of claim 19, wherein the desired trait is herbicide resistance and the resistance is conferred to an herbicide selected from the group consisting of imidazolinone, dicamba, cyclohexanedione, sulfonylurea, glyphosate, glufosinate, phenoxy proprionic acid, L-phosphinothricin, triazine and benzonitrile.

21. The soybean plant of claim 19, wherein the desired trait is insect resistance and the insect resistance is conferred by a gene encoding a Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin.

22. The soybean plant of claim 19, 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 phytase, fructosyltransferase, levansucrase, α

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