Solution Overview

Problem

Current corn breeding techniques face challenges in developing new inbred corn lines that maintain commercial competitiveness over time, as existing inbred parent lines lose vigor and require costly and expertise-intensive processes to produce hybrid corn varieties with improved yield and trait technologies.

Innovation Solution

The development of a novel inbred corn line, D054530, which offers increased grain yield and enhanced resistance to insects, weeds, and diseases, along with seed treatment options for improved crop flexibility and cost-effective control, is introduced. This line can be used as a parent in breeding programs to produce hybrid corn plants with improved traits through various breeding methods such as pedigree, backcrossing, haploid breeding, and mutation breeding.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional inbreeding techniques are used to develop new inbred corn lines, then existing inbred parent lines can be maintained, but they lose vigor over time and require costly and expertise-intensive processes to produce hybrid corn varieties

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrain yieldVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying breeding approaches and genetic parameters to develop inbred line D054530 with improved vigor and stability. The new inbred line represents a change in genetic parameters that maintains competitiveness over time, resolving the issue of vigor loss in traditional inbreeding processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of manufacture

If existing inbred parent lines are used repeatedly, then breeding expertise and costs are reduced, but the lines lose vigor and commercial competitiveness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreeding process easeVSAvoidinbred line vigor
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service through the development of inbred line D054530, which is self-sufficient and maintains its own vigor and stability without requiring complex external breeding interventions. The line's inherent genetic stability allows it to serve itself across multiple generations, reducing dependency on continuous expertise-intensive breeding processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If new inbred corn lines are developed through traditional methods, then commercial competitiveness can be maintained, but the process is costly and requires extensive expertise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommercial competitivenessVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by developing inbred line D054530 with optimized genetic parameters that ensure commercial competitiveness while simplifying the breeding process. The line's improved vigor and stability represent parameter optimizations that reduce the complexity and cost of maintaining commercial competitiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
