Solution Overview

Problem

The development of new maize varieties is a time-consuming process that takes six to twelve years, and breeders aim to create stable, high-yielding varieties with desirable traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved agronomic characteristics.

Innovation Solution

A novel maize variety, 1PUDL83, is developed through careful breeding and selection, incorporating traits like male sterility, disease resistance, and drought tolerance, achieved through backcross conversion, genetic manipulation, and transformation, allowing for the creation of hybrid seeds with enhanced physiological and morphological characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional maize breeding methods are used to develop new varieties with desirable traits, then the varieties achieve stability and high yield, but the development process takes six to twelve years

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing inbred line 1PUDL83 with desirable traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, yield potential) before hybrid development. This advance preparation of parental material with known characteristics accelerates the breeding process while ensuring variety stability, as the inbred line's traits are already optimized before being combined in hybrid crosses

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single maize variety, then the variety achieves high yield and resilience, but the breeding process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex trait combination process into manageable components: first developing and characterizing inbred line 1PUDL83 with specific traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance), then systematically combining it with other inbred lines that contribute complementary traits. This segmented approach to trait accumulation simplifies the overall breeding process while achieving multi-trait varieties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Manufacturing precision

If inbred maize seed is produced as an essentially homogeneous population, then the seed quality and uniformity are improved, but the production process requires precise control to prevent contamination

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed homogeneityVSAvoidproduction control difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the extraction principle by isolating inbred line 1PUDL83 as a distinct, genetically uniform population through controlled breeding and selection processes. This creates a clearly defined genetic identity that can be easily maintained and verified, simplifying quality control and preventing contamination during seed production, as the homogeneous nature of the inbred line provides built-in identification markers

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
