Solution Overview

Problem

Corn breeding aims to combine desirable traits like yield, disease resistance, and uniformity, but existing methods struggle to develop stable inbred plants with predictable performance due to genetic non-uniformity in hybrid plants, which affects the development of uniform corn hybrids.

Innovation Solution

The development of the corn variety CV807682, which includes a cytoplasmic or nuclear factor for male sterility and the introduction of specific genetic loci for traits like herbicide tolerance, disease resistance, and modified metabolism, along with tissue culture techniques for regenerating plants with consistent physiological and morphological characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If cross-pollination is used to create hybrid plants, 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 uniform inbred lines through self-pollination (achieving genetic uniformity), then using controlled cross-pollination only when needed to create hybrids (introducing genetic diversity). This segmentation allows the breeder to obtain both uniformity and diversity at different stages, resolving the contradiction between these two requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If self-pollination is used to develop inbred plants, then genetic uniformity is improved, but trait combination and adaptability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic uniformityVSAvoidtrait combination
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

Self-pollination is used as a preliminary action to develop genetically uniform inbred lines with stable, predictable characteristics. Once these uniform lines are established, they serve as reliable parental stocks that can be crossed to combine desirable traits. The preliminary creation of uniform inbreds provides a stable foundation for subsequent trait combination through controlled crossing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Quantity of substance

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop inbred plants, then breeding coverage is improved, but breeding time and resource consumption deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreeding coverageVSAvoidbreeding time
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Traditional mechanical breeding methods (manual pollination, field selection) are replaced with molecular marker-assisted selection and DNA-based identification systems. This substitution allows for rapid, high-throughput screening of large numbers of plants for desired traits, dramatically increasing breeding coverage while reducing the time required to develop new inbred lines, as breeders can identify promising candidates at the molecular level rather than waiting for phenotypic expression.

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