Solution Overview

Problem

The development of stable, high-yielding soybean varieties that are agronomically sound and possess desirable traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved fatty acid profiles is a time-consuming process requiring precise planning and resource efficiency, with existing methods taking six to twelve years from cross to delivery.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of the novel soybean variety 5PLVD53, which incorporates desirable traits through genetic manipulation and breeding techniques, allowing for the production of soybean plants, seeds, and plant parts with enhanced characteristics such as resistance to diseases, insects, and tolerance to abiotic stress, while maintaining stability and high yield across varying conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean varieties, then desirable traits such as disease resistance and high yield can be achieved, but the process takes six to twelve years and requires significant resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing parental lines with desired traits (disease resistance, high yield, stress tolerance) before initiating the breeding program. This advance preparation of germplasm with known desirable characteristics accelerates the breeding process while ensuring reliable trait inheritance in the resulting variety 5PLVD53

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean varieties, then stable high-yielding varieties can be produced, but the process requires significant resources and multiple generations of testing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical/time-intensive breeding operations with molecular marker-assisted selection. By using DNA markers to track and select for desirable traits (high yield, disease resistance), the program reduces the need for multiple generations of field testing and resource-intensive phenotypic evaluation, thereby conserving resources while maintaining productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple breeding objectives are pursued simultaneously, then a comprehensive variety with multiple desirable traits can be developed, but the program complexity and difficulty of management increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic soundnessVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases and objective groups. The program segments traits into categories (disease resistance, yield components, stress tolerance, maturity) and addresses them through structured crossing schemes and selection steps, making the complex multi-objective breeding program more manageable while achieving comprehensive agronomic soundness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
