Innovation Solution

The development of the inbred corn line BD0657BM, which contributes the recessive bm3 gene and offers increased dry matter production, along with trait technologies and seed treatment options for improved yield and resistance to insects, weeds, and diseases, enhancing hybrid performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional corn breeding methods are used, then new inbred corn lines can be developed, but the process is slow and costly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevelopment of new inbred corn linesVSAvoidbreeding process time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-developing and maintaining a diverse collection of inbred corn lines with known genetic characteristics before they are needed for specific breeding programs. This advance preparation of germplasm resources allows breeders to quickly select and combine lines with desirable traits without undergoing lengthy development processes, thereby reducing breeding time while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If existing inbred corn lines are used, then breeding can proceed quickly, but they lose commercial competitiveness over time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreeding speedVSAvoidcommercial competitiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by continuously updating and refining the genetic parameters of inbred corn lines through systematic breeding programs. This involves modifying genetic composition, combining different alleles, and selecting for improved traits such as yield, disease resistance, and adaptability. By dynamically changing these genetic parameters, the patent maintains commercial competitiveness while enabling ongoing breeding productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Stability of the object's composition

If inbreeding is continued to develop new lines, then genetic uniformity improves, but line vigor decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic uniformityVSAvoidline vigor
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies merging by combining multiple inbred lines with complementary genetic characteristics to create hybrid corn varieties. This approach leverages heterosis (hybrid vigor) where the F1 hybrid offspring exhibit superior growth, yield, and vigor compared to either parent line. The patent systematically merges genetically uniform inbred lines while preserving overall productivity through the heterotic effect in hybrid combinations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
