Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current durum wheat varieties have a spring growth habit, which is not suitable for the environments of western Kansas and the High Plains, limiting their adaptability and productivity.
Innovation Solution
Development of a new durum wheat variety, KS12D03-1, with a winter growth habit, which allows for vernalization and improved adaptability, combined with genetic modifications for traits like disease resistance and enhanced agronomic characteristics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If spring growth habit durum wheat varieties are used, then they are currently the only available commercial varieties, but they are not suitable for western Kansas and High Plains environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by transitioning the growth habit parameter from spring to winter, enabling the wheat variety to adapt to the environmental conditions of western Kansas and the High Plains while maintaining productivity
2Adaptability or versatility
If winter growth habit is introduced to durum wheat, then environmental adaptability is improved, but this is a novel trait not previously available in commercial durum varieties
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs preliminary action through extensive breeding and selection processes to stabilize the winter growth habit trait before commercial release, ensuring the variety's reliability and consistency across environments
