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 from cross-pollination, leading to unpredictable hybrid traits.

Innovation Solution

The development of the corn variety CV810262, which includes a cytoplasmic or nuclear factor for male sterility and specific genetic loci conferring traits like herbicide tolerance and disease resistance, along with tissue cultures capable of regenerating plants with consistent physiological and morphological characteristics, ensures uniformity and stability through controlled pollination and genetic modification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If cross-pollination is used to combine genetic traits, 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 program segments the population into distinct homozygous inbred lines through repeated self-pollination, creating genetically uniform parental lines that can be systematically crossed to achieve desired trait combinations while maintaining predictability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Homozygous inbred plants are developed in advance through multiple generations of self-pollination and selection before crossing, ensuring genetic stability and uniformity is established prior to hybridization, which then produces predictable F1 hybrids

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If self-pollination is used to develop homozygous inbred plants, then genetic uniformity is improved, but genetic diversity deteriorates

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

Solution Approach 1:

Self-pollination is performed in advance over multiple generations to establish homozygous inbred lines with uniform genetics, creating stable parental lines that can then be crossed to generate diverse yet predictable hybrids

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Homozygous inbred lines serve as intermediary genetic stocks that bridge the need for genetic uniformity in parental lines and genetic diversity in hybrids, allowing systematic combination of desirable traits through controlled crossing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If non-uniform hybrid plants are produced from heterozygous parents, then genetic adaptability is improved, but performance predictability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic adaptabilityVSAvoidperformance predictability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding system segments the genetic contribution from each parent into distinct homozygous inbred lines, ensuring that each parent contributes a uniform genetic background, which results in uniform F1 hybrids with predictable performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Homozygous inbred parental lines are used to ensure genetic homogeneity in the parental contribution, which when crossed produce uniform F1 hybrids that exhibit consistent and predictable performance across the population

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity
