Solution Overview

Problem

The development of new hybrid corn varieties is a slow and costly process that requires expertise, and existing hybrids lose commercial competitiveness over time, necessitating the creation of novel hybrid corn varieties with improved characteristics to enhance yield, adaptability, and resistance to pests and diseases.

Innovation Solution

A new hybrid corn variety designated 2643350 is developed by crossing inbred varieties SLA21 and MEA01, with specific physiological and morphological characteristics, and treated seeds are used to enhance resistance to adverse conditions, incorporating seed treatment options for improved crop flexibility and protection against insects, weeds, and diseases.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If hybrid corn varieties are developed through traditional breeding processes, then improved yield and performance are achieved, but the development process becomes slow and costly

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveyieldVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing inbred parent lines (SLA21 and MEA01) with specific desirable traits before hybridization. The inbred lines are developed and stabilized through multiple generations of inbreeding prior to the crossing event, allowing the hybrid combination to be optimized in advance for commercial deployment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter changes by systematically varying genetic parameters through controlled crossing of specific inbred lines with different genetic backgrounds. The hybrid variety 2643350 represents a specific genetic parameter combination that optimizes yield, adaptability, and disease resistance while maintaining commercial competitiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If existing hybrid corn varieties are used over time, then established performance is maintained, but commercial competitiveness is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance consistencyVSAvoidcommercial competitiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by creating a living, evolving hybrid variety that can adapt to changing environmental conditions and pest pressures. The hybrid corn variety 2643350 incorporates genetic diversity from multiple inbred parent lines, enabling it to maintain performance consistency while adapting to new challenges in the field

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent achieves universality by developing a hybrid variety that performs multiple functions simultaneously: it provides high yield, disease resistance, adaptability to different environments, and commercial competitiveness. The inbred parent lines contribute complementary traits that collectively create a multi-functional hybrid variety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If seed treatment options are applied to hybrid corn seeds, then resistance to insects, weeds and diseases is improved, but the complexity of seed processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepest and disease resistanceVSAvoidseed treatment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies merging by combining multiple protective functions into a single integrated seed treatment system. The seed treatments are applied during the seed processing stage, merging pest control, disease prevention, and germination enhancement into one coordinated process that protects the hybrid corn seeds throughout early development

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
