Solution Overview

Problem

Existing inbred corn lines lose commercial competitiveness over time, and there is a need for improved germplasm to enhance yield, disease resistance, and adaptability in corn breeding.

Innovation Solution

Development of the inbred corn line OOA25LY, which includes specific genetic traits that increase grain yield, silage tonnage, and resistance to insects, weeds, and diseases, along with methods for producing and utilizing OOA25LY-derived plants through crossing, tissue culture, and genetic modification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional inbreeding techniques are used to develop new inbred corn lines, then existing inbred corn lines can be improved, but they lose commercial competitiveness over time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommercial competitivenessVSAvoidtime for breeding development
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing a specific inbred corn line OOA25LY with modified genetic parameters that restore commercial competitiveness. This line exhibits improved grain yield, silage tonnage, and disease resistance compared to traditional inbred lines, effectively reversing the decline in competitiveness over time through targeted genetic parameter optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If inbred corn lines are developed through multiple generations of inbreeding, then homozygous plants are obtained, but the vigor of the lines decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovehomozygosityVSAvoidline vigor
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves this contradiction by introducing OOA25LY with optimized genetic parameters that maintain high homozygosity while restoring vigor. The line demonstrates improved productivity metrics including grain yield and silage tonnage despite being highly inbred, achieving a parameter configuration where stability and productivity coexist

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Quantity of substance

If additional inbreeding is performed after sufficient inbreeding is achieved, then more inbred seed is produced, but it merely increases seed without improving the line

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinbred seed quantityVSAvoidyield improvement
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent addresses this contradiction by introducing OOA25LY with superior genetic parameters that simultaneously increase seed quantity and improve productivity. The line exhibits enhanced grain yield and silage tonnage while producing abundant seed, breaking the diminishing returns pattern of traditional inbreeding where seed quantity increases without productivity improvement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Stability of the object's composition

If inbred corn lines are used to produce hybrid corn lines, then hybrid vigor is achieved, but the parent inbred lines must maintain high uniformity which limits adaptability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplant uniformityVSAvoidadaptability to production areas
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves this contradiction by introducing OOA25LY with optimized genetic parameters that maintain high uniformity for mechanical harvest compatibility while simultaneously improving adaptability to various production areas. The line demonstrates consistent performance across different environments while maintaining the uniformity required for hybrid production

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
