Solution Overview

Problem

Current garden bean cultivars lack improved combinations of desirable traits such as high yield, disease resistance, and tolerance to drought and heat, which are essential for maximizing yield and adapting to varying environmental conditions.

Innovation Solution

Development of the novel garden bean variety PV-832, which incorporates traits like resistance to diseases, insects, and environmental stresses through genetic modification and breeding techniques, including transformation with transgenes and backcrossing, to produce stable, high-yielding plants with improved agronomic qualities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding methods are used to develop new garden bean cultivars, then existing cultivars can be improved, but they lack improved combinations of desirable traits such as high yield, disease resistance, and tolerance to drought and heat

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistance and environmental toleranceVSAvoidyield
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple desirable traits (high yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, heat tolerance) into a single garden bean cultivar PV-832 through genetic transformation and breeding techniques, merging traits that were previously separate or conflicting in different cultivars

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the genetic parameters of garden bean plants by introducing transgenes that confer resistance to Anthracnose and tolerance to drought and heat stress, fundamentally changing the biological parameters of the cultivar to achieve superior performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If uniformity of plant characteristics is achieved for mechanical harvesting, then harvesting efficiency improves, but genetic diversity and adaptability to varying environmental conditions decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveharvesting efficiencyVSAvoidenvironmental adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a cultivar PV-832 that performs multiple functions simultaneously: it maintains uniform plant characteristics for mechanical harvesting while also incorporating genetic traits for adaptability to varying environmental conditions, making the cultivar universally applicable across different farming systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If new cultivars are introduced to improve yield and traits, then agricultural performance improves, but additional costs are incurred for advertising, marketing, and altered production practices

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveyieldVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent develops a cultivar that is self-sufficient in maintaining its superior traits through stable genetic inheritance, reducing the need for additional inputs and management interventions that would increase production costs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A novel garden bean variety, designated PV-832, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of garden bean variety PV-832, to the plants of garden bean line PV-832 and to methods for producing a bean plant by crossing the variety PV-832 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-832.
