Abstract

A soybean cultivar designated 21040113 is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of soybean cultivar 21040113, to the plants of soybean cultivar 21040113, to the plant parts of soybean cultivar 21040113, and to methods for producing progeny of soybean cultivar 21040113. 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. The invention also relates to soybean cultivars or breeding cultivars, and plant parts derived from soybean cultivar 21040113. The invention also relates to methods for producing other soybean cultivars, lines, or plant parts derived from soybean cultivar 21040113, 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 cultivar 21040113 with another soybean cultivar.

Claims (29)

1 . A plant of soybean cultivar 21040113, representative seed of said soybean cultivar having been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202410008.

2 . A seed that produces the plant of claim 1 .

3 . A cell of the plant of claim 1 .

4 . A tissue culture of regenerable cells comprising the cell of claim 3 .

5 . A method of soybean breeding, said method comprising crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a second soybean plant to produce soybean seed.

6 . The method of claim 5 , further defined as comprising crossing a plant of soybean cultivar 21040113 with a second soybean plant of a different genotype to produce hybrid soybean seed.

7 . An F 1 hybrid soybean seed produced by the method of claim 6 .

8 . A method of producing a plant comprising an added desired trait, said method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the desired trait into the plant of claim 1 .

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, and modified carbohydrate metabolism.

10 . A plant produced by the method of claim 9 or a selfed progeny thereof, wherein said plant or the selfed progeny thereof comprises the transgene and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of soybean cultivar 21040113.

11 . A method of introducing a single locus conversion into a soybean plant, said method comprising:

(a) crossing a plant of soybean cultivar 21040113 with a second plant comprising a desired single locus to produce F 1 progeny plants, representative seed of said soybean cultivar 21040113 having been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202410008;

(b) selecting at least a first progeny plant from step (a) that comprises the single locus to produce a selected progeny plant;

(c) crossing the selected progeny plant from step (b) with a plant of soybean cultivar 21040113 to produce at least a first backcross progeny plant that comprises the single locus; and

(d) repeating steps (b) and (c) with the first backcross progeny plant produced from step (c) used in place of the first progeny plant of step (b) during said repeating, wherein steps (b) and (c) are repeated until at least a backcross progeny plant is produced comprising the single locus conversion.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the single locus confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, abiotic stress resistance, and modified carbohydrate metabolism.

13 . A plant of soybean cultivar 21040113, further comprising a single locus conversion, wherein the plant comprises the single locus conversion and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of soybean cultivar 21040113, representative seed of soybean cultivar 21040113 having been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202410008.

14 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the method further comprises:

(a) crossing a plant grown from said hybrid soybean seed with itself or a different soybean plant to produce a seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the method further comprises:

(b) growing a progeny plant of the subsequent generation from said seed of the progeny plant of the subsequent generation and crossing the progeny plant of the subsequent generation with itself or a second plant to produce a progeny plant of a further subsequent generation.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises:

(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 hybrid soybean seed in step (a), wherein steps (a) and (b) are repeated with sufficient inbreeding to produce an inbred soybean plant derived from the soybean cultivar 21040113.

17 . A method of introducing a mutation into the genome of soybean cultivar 21040113, said method comprising applying a mutagen to the plant of claim 1 , or a part thereof, wherein said mutagen is selected from the group consisting of ethyl methanesulfonate, gamma-rays, and sodium azide, and wherein the resulting plant comprises a genome mutation.

18 . A method of determining the genotype of the plant of claim 1 or a F1 progeny plant thereof, or a part thereof, the method comprising detecting a plurality of polymorphisms in a sample of nucleic acids from said plant of claim 1 or F1 progeny thereof, or part thereof, and determining the genotype of the plant or part thereof based on said plurality of polymorphisms.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein:

said detecting comprises DNA sequencing or genetic marker analysis; or

the method further comprises storing the results of said detecting on a computer readable medium or transmitting the results of the detecting.

20 . 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 therefrom.
