Solution Overview

Problem

In plant breeding, particularly for cotton, the complexity of genetic interactions makes it unpredictable for breeders to reproduce the same variety using the same parents and methodology, resulting in unique and unpredictable outcomes, limiting the ability to breed consistent high-quality fiber varieties.

Innovation Solution

A breeding process involving manual crossing of parent plants with selection and testing through multiple generations, including recurrent backcrossing and genetic transformation, to produce hybrid and essentially derived cotton varieties that retain specific traits while ensuring genetic conformity and fiber quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If manual crossing and selection through multiple generations is used to breed cotton varieties, then fiber quality and agronomic characteristics can be improved, but the breeding process becomes unpredictable and cannot be reproduced with the same parents and methodology

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefiber qualityVSAvoidbreeding reproducibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying genetic parameters through controlled crossing and selection processes. The breeding methodology changes genetic composition parameters across generations (F1, F2, F3, etc.) to achieve desired fiber quality traits while managing the unpredictability through systematic parameter tracking and selection criteria.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If recurrent backcrossing is used to introduce specific traits into existing lines, then genetic conformity can be maintained at 90-100%, but the breeding process complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic conformityVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing multiple preliminary crossing and selection steps before achieving the final breeding goal. The recurrent backcrossing process involves several preliminary generations (F1, F2, F3, etc.) where specific traits are gradually introduced while maintaining genetic conformity, preparing the genetic material step-by-step for the desired outcome.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Manufacturing precision

If extensive selection and testing across multiple generations is conducted, then variety characteristics can be optimized, but the breeding time and resources required increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety characteristicsVSAvoidbreeding duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies continuity of useful action by maintaining continuous selection and testing activities across multiple generations without interruption. The breeding program continues systematically from F1 through F8 generations, with each generation undergoing the same selection criteria and testing protocols, ensuring that useful breeding actions are performed continuously to optimize variety characteristics over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
