Solution Overview

Problem

Current corn breeding techniques face challenges in developing uniform hybrid varieties with desirable traits such as high yield, disease resistance, and uniform germination due to genetic non-uniformity and unpredictability in cross-pollination, requiring the development of stable inbred plants and specific breeding methods.

Innovation Solution

The development of the hybrid corn variety CH675395, which incorporates genetic loci for traits like male sterility, herbicide resistance, and disease resistance, using cytoplasmic-male sterility and genetic transformation techniques to ensure consistent performance and uniformity, along with tissue culture methods for regenerating plants with specific characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If cross-pollination is used in corn breeding, then genetic diversity and trait combination are improved, but genetic uniformity and predictability deteriorate

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

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding process is segmented into distinct phases: first developing homozygous inbred lines through self-pollination to ensure genetic uniformity, then crossing these stabilized lines to introduce genetic diversity. This segmentation allows each phase to optimize for its specific goal without compromising the other.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Homozygous inbred plants are developed and stabilized through multiple generations of self-pollination before the cross-breeding step. This preliminary action ensures that the parental lines have uniform and predictable genetics, which then allows the F1 hybrid generation to exhibit consistent uniformity despite the genetic diversity introduced by crossing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If self-pollination is used to develop inbred lines, then genetic uniformity is improved, but genetic diversity and adaptability deteriorate

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

Solution Approach 1:

Self-pollination is used as a preliminary action to develop and stabilize homozygous inbred lines with uniform genetics. This uniformity is necessary and desirable at this stage, as it creates predictable parental lines that will then produce uniform F1 hybrids when crossed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

After developing uniform inbred lines through self-pollination, the invention merges the genetic material of two different inbred lines through cross-pollination. This combining creates F1 hybrids that inherit the uniformity and predictability of their parental lines while gaining the genetic diversity and heterosis needed for improved performance and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Loss of time

If traditional breeding methods are used, then development time is reduced, but trait precision and consistency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreeding cycle timeVSAvoidtrait consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The invention replaces traditional mechanical breeding methods (manual crossing, selection based on phenotypic observation) with molecular marker-assisted selection. This substitution allows for precise identification and selection of plants with desired genetic traits, significantly improving trait consistency and predictability while maintaining efficient breeding cycle times.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
