Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current pepper breeding methods face challenges in developing varieties with desirable traits such as disease resistance, nutritional quality, and environmental stress tolerance, often masked by confounding plant traits and environmental factors, requiring complex and time-consuming processes to identify genetically superior plants.
Innovation Solution
The development of the serrano hybrid pepper SHP16817, which can be used in crossing and mutagenesis to introduce heritable traits like herbicide tolerance, disease resistance, and enhanced nutritional quality through genetic transformation and breeding techniques, including backcrossing, recurrent selection, and gene editing using CRISPR/Cas9, TALENs, and zinc finger nucleases.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional pepper breeding methods are used to develop varieties with desirable traits, then disease resistance and nutritional quality can be improved, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming due to confounding plant traits and environmental factors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the breeding process by first developing inbred lines with specific desirable traits (disease resistance, nutritional quality) and then crossing them to produce hybrids. This segmentation allows systematic evaluation and selection of parent lines before hybridization, reducing the complexity and time of the overall breeding process while ensuring reliable disease resistance in the final variety.
2Manufacturing precision
If complex breeding processes are used to identify genetically superior plants, then desirable traits can be achieved, but the process complexity increases due to multiple confounding factors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by developing and evaluating inbred lines beforehand to establish their genetic characteristics, disease resistance profiles, and nutritional qualities. This preliminary characterization of parent lines allows for more precise control and prediction of hybrid outcomes, reducing the complexity of the overall breeding process while maintaining high genetic quality in the final varieties.
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional breeding techniques are used to develop new pepper varieties, then heritable traits can be introduced, but the productivity decreases due to time-consuming selection and evaluation processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuity of useful action by establishing a systematic breeding program that continuously develops inbred lines with specific desirable traits and systematically crosses them to produce hybrids. This continuous, organized approach to trait introduction and hybrid development significantly improves breeding efficiency and productivity compared to traditional ad-hoc methods, while maintaining the ability to introduce diverse heritable traits.
