Solution Overview

Problem

Current maize breeding techniques face challenges in combining desirable traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and uniformity, which are essential for efficient crop production and mechanical harvesting.

Innovation Solution

The development of a novel maize variety, PH1JP9, which is a homozygous inbred line with improved traits achieved through selective breeding and potential genetic modifications, including backcross conversion and transformation, to enhance resistance to various stresses and pests, and improve agronomic qualities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional plant breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then disease resistance and drought tolerance can be achieved, but the time required for breeding is extended and uniformity of plant characteristics is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing inbred lines with specific desirable traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, uniformity) before hybridization. The inbred line PH1JP9 has been预先 developed through traditional breeding to possess multiple desirable traits including resistance to Northern corn leaf blight, Southern corn leaf blight, and tolerance to drought, which can then be combined with other inbred lines more efficiently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter changes by modifying the genetic composition and phenotypic parameters of maize inbred lines through selective breeding and backcrossing. The inbred line PH1JP9 exhibits altered parameters including improved resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, enhanced uniformity of plant characteristics, and modified maturity characteristics compared to conventional inbred lines

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If traditional plant breeding is used to achieve uniformity of plant characteristics, then mechanical harvesting compatibility is improved, but yield potential and agronomic quality are compromised

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies merging by combining multiple desirable traits from different inbred lines into a single hybrid variety. The hybrid produced by crossing inbred line PH1JP9 with another inbred line integrates traits including uniformity of plant characteristics (for mechanical harvesting), disease resistance, drought tolerance, and high yield potential, achieving a synergistic combination that surpasses individual parent lines

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If inbred line PH1JP9 is crossed with another maize variety to produce hybrids, then yield and uniformity are enhanced, but the complexity of breeding processes increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveyieldVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies copying by creating replicated hybrid combinations using inbred line PH1JP9 as a common parent. The inbred line can be crossed with multiple different inbred lines to produce various hybrid varieties that all inherit the desirable traits of PH1JP9, allowing for systematic evaluation and selection of optimal hybrid combinations without repeating the entire breeding process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
