## Abstract

The invention relates to the wheat cultivar designated FA4W11-6016. Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants and derivatives of the wheat cultivar FA4W11-6016. Also provided by the invention are tissue cultures of the wheat cultivar FA4W11-6016 and the plants regenerated therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing wheat plants by crossing the wheat cultivar FA4W11-6016 with itself or another wheat cultivar and plants produced by such methods.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A plant of wheat cultivar FA4W11-6016, wherein a sample of seed of said cultivar has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-123304.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A plant part of the plant of claim 1, wherein the plant part comprises at least one cell of said plant.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The plant part of claim 2, further defined as head, awn, leaf, pollen, ovule, embryo, cotyledon, hypocotyl, meristematic cell, root, root tip, pistil, anther, floret, seed, pericarp, spike, stem, and callus.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

A tissue culture produced from the plant part of claim 3.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

A wheat plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 4.

### Claim 6

A seed of wheat cultivar FA4W11-6016, wherein a sample of seed of said cultivar has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-123304.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

A method of producing wheat seed, wherein the method comprises crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a second wheat plant.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein the method is further defined as comprising crossing the plant of wheat cultivar FA4W11-6016 with a second, distinct wheat plant to produce an F1 hybrid wheat seed.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

An F1 hybrid wheat seed produced by the method of claim 8.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

An F1 hybrid wheat plant produced by growing the seed of claim 9.

### Claim 11 (depends on 6)

A composition comprising the seed of claim 6 comprised in plant seed growth media, wherein a sample of seed of said cultivar has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-123304.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The composition of claim 11, wherein the growth media is soil or a synthetic cultivation medium.

### Claim 13

A plant of wheat cultivar FA4W11-6016, further comprising a single locus conversion, wherein a sample of seed of wheat cultivar FA4W11-6016 has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-123304.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The plant of claim 13, wherein the single locus conversion comprises a transgene.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

A seed that produces the plant of claim 13.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The seed of claim 15, 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, altered seed amino acid composition, site-specific genetic recombination, and modified carbohydrate metabolism.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The seed of claim 16, wherein the single locus confers tolerance to an herbicide selected from the group consisting of glyphosate, sulfonylurea, imidazolinone, dicamba, glufosinate, phenoxy propionic acid, L-phosphinothricin, cyclohexanone, cyclohexanedione, triazine, and benzonitrile.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

The seed of claim 16, wherein the single locus further comprises a gene encoding a Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) endotoxin.

### Claim 19 (depends on 16)

The seed of claim 16, wherein the single locus further comprises a gene encoding a protein selected from the group consisting of glutenins, gliadins, phytase, fructosyltransferase, levansucrase, α-amylase, invertase and starch branching enzyme or encoding an antisense of stearyl-ACP desaturase.

### Claim 20 (depends on 15)

The seed of claim 15, wherein the single locus conversion comprises a transgene.

### Claim 21 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8, wherein the method further comprises:
(a) crossing a plant grown from said F1 hybrid wheat seed with itself or a different wheat 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 F1 hybrid wheat seed in step (a), wherein steps (a) and (b) are repeated with sufficient inbreeding to produce an inbred wheat plant derived from the wheat cultivar FA4W11-6016.

### Claim 22 (depends on 1)

A method of producing a commodity plant product, the method comprising collecting the commodity plant product from the plant of claim 1.

### Claim 23 (depends on 22)

The method of claim 22, wherein the commodity plant product is grain, flour, baked goods, cereals, pasta, beverages, livestock feed, biofuel, straw, construction materials, and starches.

### Claim 24 (depends on 23)

A wheat commodity plant product produced by the method of claim 23, wherein the commodity plant product comprises at least one cell of wheat cultivar FA4W11-6016.
