Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for developing stable, high-yielding corn hybrids with superior parental lines that exhibit desirable traits to maximize ear and kernel production, while also providing resistance to pests, diseases, and tolerance to environmental stresses.

Innovation Solution

The development of a novel inbred corn line, IV19307M1, which can be used to create hybrid seeds through self-pollination or cross-pollination, and can be genetically modified to incorporate traits such as male sterility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance, and stress tolerance, using methods like mutagenesis, TILLING, and genome editing techniques.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional corn breeding methods are used to develop hybrids, then basic yield is achieved, but superior parental lines with enhanced resistance and tolerance traits are not obtained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresistance to pests, diseases, and environmental stressesVSAvoidyield potential
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program segments the development process into distinct phases: developing inbred lines with specific resistance/tolerance traits, then combining them in hybrid crosses. This allows selection of parental lines with optimized trait combinations before hybridization, resolving the contradiction between reliability and productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by selecting parental inbred lines that possess specific localized traits (e.g., disease resistance in one parent, stress tolerance in another) and combining them through controlled crosses. This creates hybrids with superior overall performance while maintaining genetic stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If genetic modification techniques are applied to incorporate multiple traits, then resistance and tolerance are improved, but genetic stability may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresistance to pests, diseases, and environmental stressesVSAvoidgenetic stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary action by developing and stabilizing inbred parental lines with desired resistance and tolerance traits before hybridization. This ensures genetic stability is established at the parental level, allowing hybrids to inherit stable trait combinations without compromising genetic integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The breeding program utilizes parameter changes by selecting and combining parental lines with specific genetic parameters (resistance levels, tolerance thresholds) to achieve optimal hybrid performance. This controlled manipulation of genetic parameters maintains stability while incorporating multiple desirable traits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If multiple desirable traits are combined in parental lines, then hybrid vigor is enhanced, but the complexity of breeding programs increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehybrid vigor and yieldVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program segments trait incorporation into separate parental lines, each optimized for specific traits. This reduces the complexity of managing multiple traits simultaneously in a single line while still achieving hybrid vigor through combination, effectively resolving the contradiction between productivity and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
