Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional wheat breeding is used, then existing varieties can be maintained, but they lack a combination of desirable traits such as high seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved milling properties

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to various agricultural conditions and usesVSAvoidcombination of desirable traits
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple desirable traits (high seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved milling properties) into a single wheat variety through genetic modification and breeding techniques. This merging of traits resolves the contradiction by creating a variety that is both adaptable to various agricultural conditions and reliable in expressing multiple desirable characteristics simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The wheat variety 6PQAN73B is designed to serve multiple functions and adapt to various agricultural conditions and uses. The variety exhibits uniformity and stability across different environments, making it universally applicable for diverse agricultural purposes while maintaining reliable performance in terms of yield, disease resistance, and milling properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If genetic modification and breeding techniques are applied, then desirable traits can be incorporated, but the development process involves numerous steps and significant intervention

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveincorporation of desirable traitsVSAvoidnumber of steps in development
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs locus conversions and transgenic approaches as preliminary actions to incorporate desirable traits into the wheat variety before traditional breeding steps. By pre-modifying the genome through genetic engineering techniques, the complex multi-step breeding process is streamlined, reducing the overall complexity while still achieving the desired trait incorporation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Stability of the object's composition

If the wheat variety is made homozygous and stable, then uniformity and stability are enhanced, but genetic diversity may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuniformity and stabilityVSAvoidgenetic diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies locus conversions that introduce specific genetic changes at particular locations in the genome while maintaining homozygosity and stability in the rest of the genome. This local quality approach allows the wheat variety to achieve uniformity and stability overall while incorporating specific diverse traits through targeted genetic modifications, thus balancing homogeneity with necessary genetic diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
