The invention overcomes the deficiencies of the art by providing an agronomically elite soybean plant with non-transgenic mutations of at least two of the glycinin subunits selected from the group consisting of Gy1, Gy2, Gy3, Gy4, and Gy5, such as conferring a Gy2 and Gy4 null phenotype and increased &#x3b2;-conglycinin content in seed. The invention also provides derivatives, and plant parts of these plants and uses thereof. Methods for marker assisted selection of soybean varieties comprising non-transgenic mutations conferring a reduced Gy1, Gy2, Gy3, Gy4, and Gy5 phenotype are also provided as part of the current invention. Methods for producing such plants that are further lipoxygenase and/or Kunitz Trypsin Inhibitor null and the plants produced thereby are also provided. The invention is significant in that soybeans from such plants are preferred dietary additives and provide important health benefits.

Agronomically elite soybeans with high &#x3b2;-conglycinin content

The invention relates to the soybean variety designated 4991629. Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants and derivatives of the soybean variety 4991629. Also provided by the invention are tissue cultures of the soybean variety 4991629 and the plants regenerated therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing soybean plants by crossing the soybean variety 4991629 with itself or another soybean variety and plants produced by such methods.

The invention relates to the soybean variety designated 4305498. Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants and derivatives of the soybean variety 4305498. Also provided by the invention are tissue cultures of the soybean variety 4305498 and the plants regenerated therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing soybean plants by crossing the soybean variety 4305498 with itself or another soybean variety and plants produced by such methods.

Soybean variety 4305498

The invention relates to the soybean variety designated 4158090. Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants and derivatives of the soybean variety 4158090. Also provided by the invention are tissue cultures of the soybean variety 4158090 and the plants regenerated therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing soybean plants by crossing the soybean variety 4158090 with itself or another soybean variety and plants produced by such methods.

Soybean variety 4158090

The invention relates to the soybean variety designated 4174206. Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants and derivatives of the soybean variety 4174206. Also provided by the invention are tissue cultures of the soybean variety 4174206 and the plants regenerated therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing soybean plants by crossing the soybean variety 4174206 with itself or another soybean variety and plants produced by such methods.

Soybean variety 4174206

The invention overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art by providing plants of soybean variety 0137335, which exhibits high seed protein and protein plus oil in combination with high yield. The invention also provides derivatives and plant parts of these plants. Further provided by the invention are methods for the use of the plant. The invention is significant in that oil and protein are important agronomic characteristics, but the value of these traits is diminished or eliminated when coupled with decreased yield.
