1 . A plant, a plant part, or a seed of soybean line EC2020472, wherein a representative sample of seed of said soybean line EC2020472, has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-127188.
2 . A cell of the plant of claim 1 .
3 . A soybean plant obtained by transforming the soybean plant of claim 1 .
4 . A seed of the soybean plant according to claim 3 .
5 . A method for producing a soybean seed, said method comprising crossing soybean plants and harvesting the resultant soybean seed, wherein at least one soybean plant is the soybean plant of claim 1 .
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the method further comprises:
(a) selfing a plant grown from said resultant soybean seed or crossing a plant grown from said resultant soybean seed with a different soybean plant to produce a seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation;
(b) growing the progeny plant of the subsequent generation and selfing the progeny plant of the subsequent generation or crossing the progeny plant of the subsequent generation with a second plant to produce a progeny plant of a further subsequent generation; and
(c) repeating steps (a) and (b) using said progeny plant of the further subsequent generation from step (b) in place of the plant grown from said resultant soybean seed in step (a), wherein steps (a) and (b) are repeated with sufficient inbreeding to produce an inbred soybean plant derived from soybean variety EC2020472.
7 . An F1 soybean seed produced by the method of claim 5 .
8 . An F1 soybean plant, or part thereof, produced by growing said seed of claim 7 .
9 . A method for developing a second soybean plant through plant breeding, said method comprising applying plant breeding to said soybean plant, or parts thereof according to claim 1 , wherein said plant breeding results in development of said second soybean plant.
10 . A method of producing a soybean plant comprising a desired trait, the method comprising introducing at least one transgene or locus conferring the desired trait into the soybean plantEC2020472, of claim 1 .
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, nematode resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, fungal resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism, drought tolerance, abiotic stress tolerance, a site-specific recombination site, and modified nutrient deficiency tolerances.
12 . A plant produced by the method of claim 10 , wherein the plant has said desired trait and all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of soybean line EC2020472, other than those characteristics altered by said transgene or locus when grown in the same location and in the same environment.
13 . A method of introducing a single locus conversion into a soybean plant, wherein the method comprises:
(a) crossing the EC2020472, plant of claim 1 with a plant of another soybean variety that comprises the single locus to produce F1 progeny plants;
(b) selecting one or more F1 progeny plants from step (a) to produce selected progeny plants;
(c) selfing selected progeny plants of step (b) or crossing the selected progeny plants of step (b) with the EC2020472 plants to produce later generation selected progeny plants;
(d) crossing or further selecting for later generation selected progeny plants that have the single locus and physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean line EC2020472, to produce selected next later generation progeny plants; and optionally
(e) repeating crossing or selection of later generation progeny plants to produce progeny plants that comprise the single locus and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of said single locus and of soybean line EC2020472, when grown in the same location and in the same environment.
14 . A plant produced by the method of claim 13 or a selfed progeny thereof, wherein the plant or selfed progeny thereof comprises said single locus and otherwise comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean line EC2020472.
15 . A method of producing a commodity plant product, said method comprising obtaining the plant of claim 1 or a part thereof and producing said commodity plant product comprising protein concentrate, protein isolate, soybean hulls, meal, flour, or oil from said plant or said part thereof.
16 . A seed that produces the plant of claim 12 .
17 . A method comprising isolating nucleic acids from a plant, a plant part, or a seed of soybean line EC2020472, analyzing said nucleic acids to produce data, and recording the data for soybean line EC2020472.
18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the data is recorded on a computer readable medium.
19 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising using the data for crossing, selection, or advancement decisions in a breeding program.
