s amino acid characteristics . this line can be crossed with another soybean line which carries a gene that acts to provide herbicide resistance or alter the saturated and / or unsaturated fatty acid content of the oil within the seed , or the amino acid profile of the seed . the present invention s05 - 97177 - n00 - 22972 is employed in a number of plot repetitions to establish trait characteristics . the traits of the present invention differ from the comparison commercial soybean lines in pft with the present invention having the most resistance and the present invention has the best rating for idc . the present invention s05 - 97177 - n00 - 22972 is employed in a trialling for a number of characteristics . these tests allow the usefulness of the invention to be shown in light of the environmental genetic interactions . the present invention is providing yield that is significantly better than one of the comparison commercial lines . the present invention has significantly different moisture then two of the commercial lines . each of these lines has their own positive traits . each of these lines is different from the present invention . the idc rating is slightly lower ( 1 = best ) than two of the commercial lines . thus indicating better idc resistance than is shown by the commercial lines . the yield and other data is a snapshot of each of these lines &# 39 ; results in the specific environment and will differ when other environmental interactions are measured . this s05 - 97177 - n00 - 22972 invention was compared with a commercial soybean product for certain grain quality traits . the tests were run in 21 locations . the data in the first set shows that the present invention is carrying higher protein into the seed then are the other comparable commercial . the oil data in this test data also shows a significant difference when compared to these commercial lines . this invention also is directed to methods for producing a new soybean plant by crossing a first parent plant with a second parent plant wherein the first or second parent plant is the present invention . additionally , the present invention maybe used in the variety development process to derive progeny in a breeding population or crossing . further , both first and second parent plants can come from the soybean line s05 - 97177 - n00 - 22972 . a variety of breeding methods can be selected depending on the mode of reproduction , the trait , the condition of the germplasm . thus , any such methods using the s05 - 97177 - n00 - 22972 are part of this invention : selfing , backcrosses , recurrent selection , mass selection and the like . the scope of the present invention includes any use on s05 - 97177 - n00 - 22972 of transformation methods . transformation methods are means for integrating new genetic coding sequences ( transgenes ) into the plant &# 39 ; s genome by the incorporation of these sequences into a plant through man &# 39 ; s assistance . many dicots including soybeans can easily be transformed with agrobacterium . the most common method of transformation after the use of agrobacterium is referred to as gunning or microprojectile bombardment . this process has small gold - coated particles coated with dna ( including the transgene ) shot into the transformable material . techniques for gunning dna into cells , tissue , explants , meristems , callus , embryos , and the like are well known in the prior art . the dna used for transformation of these plants clearly may be circular , linear , and double or single stranded . usually , the dna is in the form of a plasmid . the plasmid usually contains regulatory and / or targeting sequences which assists the expression of the gene in the plant . the methods of forming plasmids for transformation are known in the art . plasmid components can include such items as : leader sequences , transit polypeptides , promoters , terminators , genes , introns , marker genes , etc . the structures of the gene orientations can be sense , antisense , partial antisense , or partial sense : multiple gene copies can be used . after the transformation of the plant material is complete , the next step is identifying the cells or material , which has been transformed . in some cases , a screenable marker is employed such as the beta - glucuronidase gene of the uida locus of e . coli . then , the transformed cells expressing the colored protein are selected for either regeneration or further use . in many cases , a selectable marker identifies the transformed material . the putatively transformed material is exposed to a toxic agent at varying concentrations . the cells not transformed with the selectable marker , which provides resistance to this toxic agent , die . cells or tissues containing the resistant selectable marker generally proliferate . it has been noted that although selectable markers protect the cells from some of the toxic affects of the herbicide or antibiotic , the cells may still be slightly affected by the toxic agent by having slower growth rates . if the transformed material was cell lines then these lines are regenerated into plants . the cells &# 39 ; lines are treated to induce tissue differentiation . methods of regeneration of cellular are well known in the art . the plants from the transformation process or the plants resulting from a cross using a transformed line or the progeny of such plants are transgenic plants that carry the transgene . a deposit of the garst seed company soybean cultivar s05 - 97177 - n00 - 22972 disclosed above and recited in the appended claims will be made with the american type culture collection ( atcc ), 10801 university boulevard , manassas , va . 20110 . the date of deposit was jul . 13 , 2006 . the deposit of 2 , 500 seeds maintained by garst seed company since prior to the filing date of this application . all restrictions on the deposit upon issuance of the patent will be removed , and the deposit is intended to meet all of the requirements of 37 c . f . r . §§ 1 . 801 – 1 . 809 . the atcc accession number is pta — 7726 . the viablity of the deposit was positive in tests ran on jul . 25 , 2006 . the deposit will be maintained in the depository for a period of 30 years , or 5 years after the last request , or for the effective life of the patent , whichever is longer , and will be replaced as necessary during that period . accordingly , the present invention has been described with some degree of particularity directed to the preferred embodiment of the present invention . it should be appreciated , though , that the present invention is defined by the following claims construed in light of the prior art so that modifications or changes may be made to the preferred embodiment of the present invention without departing from the inventive concepts contained herein .
