Solution Overview

Problem

The development of inbred corn lines with specific agronomic traits is challenging due to the complexity of genetic systems governing traits like yield, maturity, and disease resistance, making it difficult to produce hybrids that are uniformly adapted across different regions of the Corn Belt and resistant to regional growing problems such as Gray Leaf Spot and CLN.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of the inbred corn line G06-NP2899, which combines unique traits and allows for the production of hybrid seed through targeted trait introduction using methods like marker-assisted breeding, transgenic genes, and male sterility systems to enhance hybrid vigor and adaptability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If traditional breeding programs are used to develop inbred corn lines, then uniformity and stability can be achieved, but the complexity of genetic systems makes it difficult to produce hybrids uniformly adapted across different regions

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveuniformityVSAvoidadaptability across regions
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by developing inbred lines with specific agronomic traits tailored to particular regions or environmental conditions. Each inbred line is designed with localized characteristics (such as disease resistance to specific pathogens like Gray Leaf Spot or CLN in certain areas) that enable uniform adaptation across different Corn Belt regions while maintaining overall stability and consistency in performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If multiple traits are combined in inbred lines to improve agronomic performance, then yield and resistance can be enhanced, but the genetic complexity increases making breeding more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic performanceVSAvoidgenetic complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by breaking down the complex genetic system into manageable components through the development of specific inbred lines, each carrying defined agronomic traits. This allows breeders to work with discrete, well-characterized lines (such as those with specific disease resistances or yield characteristics) rather than dealing with the full complexity of multi-trait genetics simultaneously, thereby enhancing reliability while managing genetic complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If hybrid seed is produced through conventional crossing methods, then hybrid vigor can be achieved, but regional adaptability and resistance to growing problems remain insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehybrid vigorVSAvoiddisease resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the intermediary principle by using specifically developed inbred lines as mediator parents in hybrid crosses. These inbred lines serve as intermediaries that carry both hybrid vigor and specific disease resistance traits, enabling the production of hybrids that exhibit both high productivity and enhanced resistance to regional growing problems such as Gray Leaf Spot and CLN.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
