Solution Overview

Problem

Current crop breeding methods face challenges in developing uniform and stable bean varieties with desirable traits such as high yield, resistance to pests, and adaptability, as they often result in unpredictable performance due to genetic non-uniformity in hybrid plants.

Innovation Solution

The development of the bean line SV1545GA, which is a uniform and stable variety with specific physiological and morphological characteristics, including herbicide tolerance and disease resistance, achieved through selective breeding and genetic transformation techniques, ensuring consistent performance across generations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If cross-pollination between different plant varieties is used to create hybrid plants, then genetic diversity and adaptability are improved, but uniformity and predictability of performance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiduniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the breeding process into distinct stages: creating F1 hybrid plants with desired traits, then developing inbred lines through repeated self-pollination. This segmentation allows the benefits of cross-pollination (genetic diversity) to be captured in the F1 generation while achieving uniformity in the subsequent inbred lines through controlled self-pollination over multiple generations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs preliminary action by first creating uniform F1 hybrid plants through controlled cross-pollination before proceeding to develop inbred lines. This preliminary F1 generation establishes the desired genetic combination, which is then maintained and stabilized through subsequent self-pollination generations, ensuring both uniformity and predictability in the final inbred lines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If self-pollination is used to create homozygous inbred plants, then uniformity and predictability are improved, but genetic diversity and adaptability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveuniformityVSAvoidgenetic diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the breeding process to first create F1 hybrids with genetic diversity through cross-pollination, then develops inbred lines through self-pollination. This segmentation allows the inbred lines to achieve uniformity while the F1 generation maintains the genetic diversity needed for adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The F1 hybrid generation acts as an intermediary between the diverse parental varieties and the uniform inbred lines. The F1 plants carry the genetic diversity from different parents while serving as a uniform starting point for developing inbred lines through self-pollination, thus mediating between the need for diversity and uniformity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If broad-based breeding pools are used to combine genetic backgrounds, then adaptability and trait combination are improved, but uniformity and breeding complexity deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoidbreeding complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the breeding process into manageable steps: selecting parental varieties with desired traits, creating F1 hybrids, then developing inbred lines through systematic self-pollination. This segmentation reduces the complexity of working with broad-based breeding pools by breaking down the complex process into discrete, controllable stages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by transitioning from cross-pollination (increasing genetic diversity) to self-pollination (decreasing genetic diversity while increasing uniformity). This parameter change in the pollination method allows the breeding program to manage complexity by systematically controlling the genetic composition at each stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
