The present invention particularly relates to soybean variety CL1920396 and its seed, cells, germplasm, plant parts, and progeny, and methods of using CL1920396, e.g., in a breeding program. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A plant, a plant part, or a seed of soybean variety CL1920396, wherein a representative sample of seed of said soybean variety CL1920396 has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-126922. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) A cell of the plant of claim 1. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) A soybean plant obtained by transforming the soybean plant of claim 1. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) A seed of the soybean plant according to claim 3. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) 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. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the method further comprises: (a) crossing a plant grown from said resultant soybean seed with itself or a different soybean plant to produce a seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation; (b) growing a progeny plant of a subsequent generation from said seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation and crossing the progeny plant of a subsequent generation with itself or 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 a 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 CL1920396. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) An F1 soybean seed produced by the method of claim 5. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) An F1 soybean seed produced by the method of claim 5 wherein at least one of the soybean plants carries a heritable transgenic event. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) An F1 soybean plant, or part thereof, produced by growing said seed of claim 7. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) 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. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) 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 plant CL1920396 of claim 1. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, 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. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) A plant produced by the method of claim 11, wherein the plant has said desired trait and all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of soybean variety CL1920396 other than those characteristics altered by said transgene or locus when grown in the same location and in the same environment. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) A method of introducing a single locus conversion into a soybean plant, wherein the method comprises: (a) crossing the CL1920396 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 CL1920396 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 variety CL1920396 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 variety CL1920396 when grown in the same location and in the same environment. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) A plant produced by the method of claim 14 or a selfed progeny thereof, wherein the plant or selfed progeny thereof comprises said single locus and otherwise comprises essentially all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean variety CL19203966. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) 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. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) A seed that produces the plant of claim 13. ### Claim 18 A method comprising isolating nucleic acids from a plant, a plant part, or a seed of soybean variety CL1920396, analyzing said nucleic acids to produce data, and recording the data for soybean variety CL1920396. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, wherein the data is recorded on a computer readable medium. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, further comprising using the data for crossing, selection, or advancement decisions in a breeding program.
