Solution Overview

Problem

Corn breeding aims to combine desirable traits like higher yield, disease resistance, and uniformity, but existing methods face challenges in developing stable inbred plants with predictable performance due to genetic non-uniformity and the need for extensive selection processes.

Innovation Solution

The development of the corn variety CV833052, which includes a cytoplasmic or nuclear factor for male sterility and genetic modifications such as herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, and modified metabolic traits, along with tissue culture techniques for regenerating plants with consistent morphological and physiological characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop inbred plants, then genetic diversity is maintained, but uniformity and predictability of hybrid performance are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictability of hybrid performanceVSAvoidcomplexity of breeding process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding process is segmented into distinct stages: developing homozygous inbred parental lines through self-pollination, then crossing these standardized inbreds to produce uniform hybrids. This segmentation allows each stage to be optimized independently, ensuring genetic uniformity in the final hybrid product.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by controlling pollination parameters - specifically enforcing self-pollination for multiple generations to achieve homozygosity, then switching to controlled cross-pollination between specific inbred lines. This parameter control transforms the breeding outcome from variable to predictable and uniform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If self-pollination is used to develop homozygous inbred plants, then uniformity of progeny is improved, but the breeding time and selection processes are extended

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuniformity of inbred plantsVSAvoidtime for breeding and selection
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Homozygous inbred parental lines are developed and standardized in advance before hybrid production. This preliminary action of creating stable, uniform inbreds through multi-generation self-pollination ensures that subsequent hybrid crosses will produce consistent, predictable results, reducing the need for extensive selection later.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The breeding program maintains continuous production of inbred lines through systematic self-pollination and selection across multiple generations. This continuous process ensures a steady supply of uniform parental material, making the overall breeding operation more efficient despite the time required for homozygosity achievement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Adaptability or versatility

If cross-pollination between heterozygous plants is performed, then genetic variation is increased, but uniformity of the hybrid population is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic variationVSAvoiduniformity of hybrid population
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by ensuring that each parental inbred line contributes a specific, standardized genetic composition to the hybrid. The heterozygosity is localized to specific gene loci from each parent, while the overall hybrid population maintains uniformity because both parents are homozygous and genetically stable at all other loci.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
