Inbred Maize Line 1DLIB1008 for Accelerated Hybrid Development
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The development of new maize varieties is a time-consuming process that takes six to twelve years, and there is a continuous need for stable, high-yielding maize varieties with improved traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and better agronomic characteristics.
Innovation Solution
A novel maize variety, 1DLIB1008, is developed through careful breeding and selection, incorporating traits like male sterility, disease resistance, and improved agronomic characteristics, using genetic manipulation and transformation techniques, and can be used to produce hybrid seeds by crossing it with other maize varieties.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new maize varieties, then stable and high-yielding varieties can be achieved, but the development process takes six to twelve years which is time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by developing and maintaining a pre-characterized inbred maize line (1DLIB1008) with known genetic traits and performance characteristics. This pre-prepared genetic material can be immediately crossed with other varieties to produce hybrids, eliminating the need for lengthy breeding development cycles. The inbred line serves as a ready-to-use genetic platform that accelerates variety development while maintaining stability and high-yielding characteristics.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional breeding methods are used, then desirable traits can be combined in a single variety, but the process requires numerous steps taking six to twelve years
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies copying by creating a standardized inbred maize line (1DLIB1008) that can be replicated and used repeatedly as a parent in hybrid production. This single well-characterized genetic line incorporates desirable traits that can be consistently copied across multiple breeding programs and seasons, eliminating the need to repeatedly perform the entire breeding process to combine the same set of traits.
3Reliability
If new maize varieties are developed through extensive breeding programs, then high yield and agronomic soundness can be achieved, but the process is complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies extraction by isolating and utilizing a specific inbred maize line (1DLIB1008) with predetermined agronomic soundness traits. Instead of performing complex multi-step breeding programs to achieve agronomic soundness, the patent extracts and applies a pre-validated genetic line that already possesses these desirable characteristics, simplifying the overall breeding approach while maintaining reliability.
