Solution Overview

Problem

Current plant breeding techniques face challenges in developing uniform and stable bean varieties that combine desirable traits such as high yield, disease resistance, and environmental stress tolerance.

Innovation Solution

The development of the bean line SVGF2123, which involves creating a homozygous inbred line through self-pollination and selection, followed by crossing with other lines to introduce desired traits like herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, and modified carbohydrate metabolism. This is achieved through genetic engineering techniques such as genome editing with engineered nucleases.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If pedigree breeding and recurrent selection are used to develop inbred plants, then genetic diversity is increased, but uniformity and predictability of the population decrease

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

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program segments the development process into distinct phases: first developing uniform homozygous inbred lines through self-pollination, then strategically crossing these lines to introduce genetic diversity. This segmentation allows the program to maintain uniformity within lines while achieving diversity across the breeding pool, resolving the contradiction between uniformity and genetic diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

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

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

Solution Approach 1:

The program performs preliminary action by first creating uniform homozygous inbred lines through extended self-pollination and selection. These uniform lines serve as a foundation, and only after establishing this uniformity does the program introduce genetic diversity through controlled crosses. This preliminary establishment of uniformity allows subsequent introduction of diversity without compromising the stability of the base population.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If crossing of heterozygous plants is performed, then genetic diversity is maintained, but uniformity and performance predictability decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic diversityVSAvoidperformance predictability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The program uses homozygous inbred lines as intermediaries between genetic diversity and performance predictability. These inbred lines serve as uniform parental sources that can be crossed to introduce diversity while maintaining predictable outcomes. The inbred lines act as a buffer, allowing controlled introduction of genetic variation while preserving the predictability needed for commercial production.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
