Solution Overview

Problem

Current pea breeding methods face challenges in developing uniform, high-yielding varieties with desirable traits like disease resistance and nutritional value, as they often result in unpredictable performance due to genetic non-uniformity in hybrid plants.

Innovation Solution

The development of the pea line SV7688QF, which is a mid-season, determinate afila variety with enhanced sweetness and multiple disease resistances, achieved through pedigree selection and genetic stabilization, ensuring uniformity and stability across environmental influences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If pedigree breeding and recurrent selection are used to develop inbred plants, then genetic diversity is improved, but uniformity and predictability of hybrid performance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic diversityVSAvoiduniformity and predictability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program segments the development process into distinct phases: first developing homozygous inbred lines through self-pollination and selection, then crossing these stabilized lines to produce uniform F1 hybrids. This segmentation allows genetic diversity to be captured in the inbred line development phase while ensuring uniformity in the final hybrid phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by extensively self-pollinating and selecting parent lines over multiple generations before crossing them. This preliminary stabilization of the parent lines ensures that when hybrids are produced, they will be uniform and predictable, resolving the contradiction between diversity and uniformity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If cross-pollination is used to produce hybrid plants, then genetic diversity is improved, but uniformity of the population deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic diversityVSAvoiduniformity of population
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent ensures homogeneity by using homozygous inbred lines as parents, which are genetically uniform. When these uniform parents cross-pollinate, they produce F1 hybrids that are also uniform because both parents contribute identical alleles at each locus. This maintains population uniformity while still benefiting from hybrid vigor.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity

3Manufacturing precision

If self-pollination is used to develop homozygous lines, then uniformity is improved, but genetic diversity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveuniformityVSAvoidgenetic diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

The breeding program segments the development process into distinct phases: first developing homozygous inbred lines through self-pollination and selection, then crossing these stabilized lines to produce uniform F1 hybrids. This segmentation allows genetic diversity to be captured in the inbred line development phase while ensuring uniformity in the final hybrid phase.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by extensively self-pollinating and selecting parent lines over multiple generations before crossing them. This preliminary stabilization of the parent lines ensures that when hybrids are produced, they will be uniform and predictable, resolving the contradiction between diversity and uniformity.
