Solution Overview

Problem

Current garden bean cultivars lack improved traits such as high yield, disease resistance, and adaptability to drought and heat, which are essential for maximizing yield and reducing production costs in a changing agricultural environment.

Innovation Solution

Development of the novel garden bean variety PV-766, which combines desirable traits like high yield, disease resistance, heat tolerance, and adaptability through genetic modification and breeding techniques, including backcrossing and transformation with transgenes for specific traits like male sterility, herbicide resistance, and drought tolerance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional garden bean cultivars are used, then production costs are reduced, but yield is limited and disease resistance is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveyieldVSAvoiddisease resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple desirable traits (high yield, disease resistance, heat tolerance, drought tolerance) into a single integrated cultivar PV-766 through conventional breeding techniques, resolving the contradiction by merging previously separate trait improvements into one variety that simultaneously achieves both high productivity and reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional garden bean cultivars are used, then production costs are reduced, but adaptability to drought and heat is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to drought and heatVSAvoidyield
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges adaptability traits (drought and heat tolerance) with high yield potential in cultivar PV-766, creating a variety that maintains productivity while gaining environmental adaptability through integrated breeding of multiple desirable characteristics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If a new cultivar is introduced, then superior performance is achieved, but additional costs are incurred for advertising, marketing, and production practice changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesuperior performanceVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the benefits of cultivar introduction by focusing on core agricultural performance traits (yield, disease resistance, adaptability) while minimizing emphasis on marketing and production practice changes, thereby achieving superior performance while controlling the scope and cost of implementation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A novel garden bean variety, designated PV-766, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of garden bean variety PV-766, to the plants of garden bean line PV-766 and to methods for producing a bean plant by crossing the variety PV-766 with itself or another bean line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a bean plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other garden bean lines derived from the variety PV-766.
