Solution Overview

Problem

The development of new hybrid corn varieties is a slow and costly process that requires expertise, and existing hybrid corn varieties lose commercial competitiveness over time, necessitating the creation of novel varieties with improved characteristics for enhanced yield, trait technologies, and seed treatment options to control insects, weeds, and diseases.

Innovation Solution

A new yellow dent hybrid corn variety, designated 10265675, is developed through crossing inbred varieties 7MMSM0012 and MV8735, with specific physiological and morphological characteristics, and treated seeds are used to enhance resistance to adverse conditions such as cold, drought, and diseases, utilizing agents like sodium methylphenyl-pentadienate and polyoxyalkylene-organo-siloxane block copolymer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional hybrid corn breeding methods are used, then hybrid vigor and yield improvement are achieved, but the development process is slow and costly

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveyieldVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing parent inbred lines with specific desirable traits before hybridization. The parent lines are screened for characteristics such as plant height, ear position, kernel color, and disease resistance in advance, so that when hybrids are produced, the selection process is accelerated because the parental contributions are already known and optimized.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter changes by systematically varying and selecting for specific phenotypic parameters in the hybrid progeny, including plant height, ear position, kernel color, and disease resistance. By focusing on specific parameter improvements rather than general breeding, the process achieves targeted yield enhancement more efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If existing hybrid corn varieties are used, then current yield levels are maintained, but commercial competitiveness is lost over time

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveyieldVSAvoidcommercial competitiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent continuously improves commercial competitiveness by changing key parameters of the hybrid varieties, including increasing plant height, optimizing ear position, enhancing kernel color for market preference, and improving disease resistance. These parameter improvements ensure that new varieties outperform existing ones and maintain commercial competitiveness over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables self-service by developing hybrid varieties with inherent disease resistance traits and adaptive characteristics that allow the crop to maintain productivity without excessive external intervention. The selected parent lines contribute genes for natural resistance to common diseases, reducing the need for chemical treatments and maintaining yield stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If seed treatment agents are applied, then resistance to environmental stresses is enhanced, but additional cost and complexity are introduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresistance to environmental stressesVSAvoidseed treatment process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses seed treatment agents as intermediaries to bridge the gap between the seed and the harsh environmental conditions. Specific chemical agents are applied to the seed coat to provide protective functions, such as enhancing germination under cold stress or providing antifungal properties during storage and early growth, thereby reducing direct exposure to environmental stresses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by treating seeds with protective agents before planting, so that the seedlings are pre-equipped with resistance mechanisms against environmental stresses. This preliminary protection during the critical early growth stage reduces the need for complex ongoing management and simplifies the overall cultivation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
