Solution Overview

Problem

Current pea breeding methods struggle to produce uniform, stable varieties with desirable traits such as resistance to diseases and environmental stress, often resulting in unpredictable performance due to genetic non-uniformity in hybrid plants.

Innovation Solution

Development of pea line 08270930, which is homozygous and exhibits specific traits like resistance to Fusarium wilt and Ascochyta, achieved through selective breeding and genetic manipulation, including backcrossing and genetic transformation, to produce uniform F1 hybrid progeny with improved characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If self-fertilization breeding methods are used to develop pea varieties, then uniform homozygous inbred plants can be produced, but the genetic diversity and adaptability are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuniformity of inbred plantsVSAvoidgenetic diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding process is segmented into distinct phases: first developing homozygous inbred lines through self-fertilization to ensure uniformity, then crossing these lines to produce hybrid F1 progeny that restore genetic diversity. This segmentation allows both uniformity and adaptability to be achieved at different stages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of directly crossing diverse plants to maintain adaptability, the invention first creates uniform homozygous lines through self-fertilization, then uses controlled crossing of these uniform lines to generate genetically diverse hybrid progeny. This inverted approach ensures both uniformity in the base lines and diversity in the final varieties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Adaptability or versatility

If cross-fertilization is used to produce hybrid plants, then genetic diversity is maintained, but uniformity and predictable performance are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic diversityVSAvoiduniformity of hybrid plants
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

Before performing cross-fertilization to generate genetic diversity, the invention first performs preliminary self-fertilization breeding to create uniform homozygous inbred lines. This preliminary action ensures that the genetic diversity introduced through crossing comes from known, uniform parent lines, making the hybrid performance predictable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses feedback from evaluating the performance of F1 hybrid progeny to select parent lines that will produce uniform and predictable hybrids. By monitoring and selecting based on observed performance, the breeding process ensures that cross-fertilization maintains diversity while preserving uniformity and predictability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Stability of the object's composition

If multiple generations of selfing and selection are performed to develop inbred lines, then uniform varieties are achieved, but the breeding time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuniformity of inbred linesVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The invention utilizes the plant's natural self-fertilization capability to automatically achieve homozygosity over generations without requiring complex intervention. By allowing plants to self-fertilize and then selecting desired phenotypes, the breeding process leverages the plant's own reproductive mechanism to reduce time and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the selection parameters by focusing on phenotypic selection in early generations and then using molecular markers or more targeted selection in later generations. This parameter change accelerates the development of uniform inbred lines by making selection more efficient at each stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
