Solution Overview

Problem

Current corn breeding techniques face challenges in developing uniform corn hybrids with desirable traits such as high yield, disease resistance, and uniformity, as they often result in unpredictable performance due to genetic non-uniformity among hybrid plants.

Innovation Solution

The development of the corn variety CV032767, which includes a cytoplasmic or nuclear factor for male sterility and other desirable traits like herbicide tolerance and disease resistance, is achieved through backcrossing and genetic transformation techniques, ensuring a homogeneous population of inbred seeds and plants with specific genetic loci.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional corn breeding techniques are used to develop hybrids, then various desirable traits can be combined, but genetic non-uniformity results in unpredictable performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination of desirable traitsVSAvoidperformance predictability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding process is segmented into distinct phases: developing homozygous inbred parental lines through self-pollination, then crossing these standardized inbreds to produce uniform F1 hybrids. This segmentation ensures genetic consistency within each phase while combining traits across phases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent emphasizes creating homogeneous populations through homozygous inbred plants that are genetically uniform. This homogeneity in the parental lines ensures that all F1 hybrid offspring receive identical genetic combinations, making the population uniform and performance predictable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity

2Stability of the object's composition

If self-pollination is used to develop homozygous inbred plants, then uniform populations are produced, but breeding complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

Homozygous inbred parental lines are developed in advance through multiple generations of self-pollination and selection before the actual hybrid crossing. This preliminary action creates genetically stable, uniform parents that simplify the subsequent hybridization process and ensure consistent F1 offspring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The breeding process utilizes the plant's natural self-pollination capability to develop homozygous inbreds. By allowing plants to self-pollinate over generations, the system automatically generates genetic uniformity without requiring complex external intervention, thus using the plant's own biological mechanisms to achieve the desired stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If cross-pollination is used to produce hybrid plants, then genetic diversity is achieved, but population uniformity is lost

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent achieves population uniformity by crossing two homozygous inbred lines that are each genetically uniform. Although cross-pollination introduces genetic recombination, the starting material (homozygous inbreds) ensures that all F1 hybrids receive the same parental alleles, resulting in a uniform F1 population despite the cross-pollination mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity
