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 CV858395, which is an inbred corn plant with specific physiological and morphological characteristics, including cytoplasmic male sterility and heritable traits like herbicide tolerance and disease resistance, is achieved through backcrossing and genetic transformation techniques, ensuring stability and uniformity in progeny.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If cross-pollination is used to combine desirable traits from different plants, then genetic diversity and trait combination are improved, but uniformity and predictability of hybrid performance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoidperformance predictability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding process is segmented into distinct phases: creating inbred lines through self-pollination, then crossing those inbreds to create uniform F1 hybrids. This segmentation allows each phase to be optimized independently, ensuring uniformity within F1 hybrids while maintaining trait combination capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Inbred lines are developed through preliminary self-pollination and selection before the actual hybrid crossing. This preliminary action ensures that the parental lines are genetically uniform and stable, which then guarantees uniformity in the resulting F1 hybrids and predictable performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If self-pollination is used to develop homozygous inbred plants, then uniformity and genetic stability are improved, but productivity and yield potential deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic uniformityVSAvoidyield potential
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding system dynamically switches between self-pollination (for developing uniform inbreds) and cross-pollination (for producing high-yielding F1 hybrids). This dynamic approach allows the system to achieve both genetic stability in inbreds and high productivity in F1 hybrids, which are then used for commercial seed production.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The pollination mode is changed as a key parameter between different breeding stages. Self-pollination is used when genetic uniformity is the priority (inbred development), while cross-pollination is used when heterosis and yield potential are prioritized (F1 hybrid production).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If extensive breeding programs are implemented to develop superior inbred plants, then desirable characteristics are improved, but device complexity and breeding program requirements deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesirable characteristicsVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program uses copying of successful inbred lines and their F1 hybrids to establish commercial varieties. Once a superior inbred line is developed, it can be repeatedly crossed with appropriate partners to produce multiple F1 hybrid varieties, effectively copying the success of the original breeding work across multiple products.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
