Solution Overview

Problem

Current soybean breeding methods face challenges in developing stable, high-yielding varieties with desirable traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved nutritional quality, as they rely on conventional breeding techniques that are time-consuming and unpredictable, leading to significant research costs and variability in genetic outcomes.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01045654, which incorporates a transgenic gene (MON89788) for glyphosate tolerance and is bred using advanced techniques like backcrossing and genetic transformation to introduce desired traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved agronomic characteristics, allowing for precise genetic manipulation and consistent trait expression.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional breeding techniques are used to develop soybean varieties, then genetic diversity can be maintained, but the breeding process becomes time-consuming and unpredictable with significant variability in genetic outcomes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictability of genetic outcomesVSAvoidbreeding process duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical breeding methods (cross-pollination, selection, and hybridization) with genetic engineering techniques (transgenic transformation, gene editing, and molecular marker-assisted selection). This substitution enables precise introduction of specific traits through direct genetic manipulation rather than relying on random genetic recombination, thereby reducing breeding time and improving predictability of outcomes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes molecular markers and genetic transformation parameters to precisely control and track specific genetic traits during breeding. By changing from phenotypic selection to genotypic selection using DNA markers, the breeding process achieves higher precision in identifying and selecting desired traits, reducing the number of generations required and improving reliability of trait inheritance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If conventional breeding techniques are used, then natural genetic variation is preserved, but research costs increase due to the extended breeding timeline and multiple generations required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreeding efficiencyVSAvoidresearch costs
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces labor-intensive conventional breeding operations with automated genetic transformation systems and molecular screening techniques. This substitution reduces manual labor requirements, accelerates the breeding cycle, and decreases overall research costs by eliminating the need for maintaining multiple breeding generations over several years.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary genetic transformation and trait introduction in controlled laboratory conditions before field testing. By pre-introducing desired traits through genetic engineering and verifying their expression in controlled environments, the patent eliminates the need for extended field breeding trials, thereby reducing both time and resource requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Stability of the object's composition

If multiple breeding generations are required to stabilize traits, then trait consistency can be achieved, but the breeding process becomes less environmentally sustainable due to repeated cultivation cycles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait consistencyVSAvoidenvironmental impact
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces repeated field cultivation cycles with in-vitro genetic transformation and tissue culture techniques. By introducing and stabilizing traits in controlled laboratory environments rather than through multiple field generations, the patent significantly reduces land use, water consumption, and environmental disturbance associated with conventional breeding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent achieves trait stabilization through preliminary genetic engineering and molecular verification in controlled environments before commercial deployment. This preliminary action eliminates the need for repeated environmental exposure and selection cycles, thereby reducing the environmental footprint of the breeding process while maintaining trait consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
