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 genetic variability and environmental dependence.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01050834, which includes a single locus conversion that can confer traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality, through genetic transformation and backcrossing techniques, allowing for precise trait introduction while maintaining the variety's morphological and physiological characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding techniques are used to develop soybean varieties, then genetic diversity and adaptability are maintained, but the breeding process becomes time-consuming and unpredictable with high genetic variability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic diversityVSAvoidbreeding process time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding process is segmented into distinct phases: backcrossing to transfer specific traits, single locus conversion to isolate desired characteristics, and selective breeding to stabilize the variety. This segmentation allows systematic progression from parental germplasm to stable high-yielding variety, reducing overall breeding time while maintaining genetic diversity through controlled steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Preliminary selection of parental germplasm with desired traits is performed before the main breeding process. The parental lines are pre-characterized for disease resistance, yield potential, and other agronomic qualities, allowing the breeding program to start with optimized genetic material and reduce subsequent selection time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If conventional breeding techniques are used, then natural genetic variation is preserved, but manufacturing precision and trait consistency are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait consistencyVSAvoidbreeding precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The single locus conversion technique applies local quality by introducing or modifying specific genes at particular genomic locations while maintaining the rest of the genome intact. This allows precise control over specific traits (such as disease resistance or herbicide tolerance) without affecting other genetic characteristics, achieving both trait consistency and breeding precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The breeding process utilizes parameter changes by systematically altering genetic parameters through controlled crosses and selections. Each breeding generation targets specific genetic parameters (allele frequencies, homozygosity levels, trait expression) to be adjusted to desired values, enabling precise control over trait consistency while maintaining overall genetic stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple breeding objectives are pursued simultaneously, then comprehensive improvement is achieved, but device complexity and breeding program complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple breeding objectives are merged into a unified breeding program by selecting parental germplasm that simultaneously possesses multiple desired traits. The backcrossing and single locus conversion processes are integrated to transfer multiple traits in a coordinated manner, reducing program complexity compared to separate breeding programs for each trait.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The breeding program achieves multi-functionality by developing a single soybean variety that simultaneously provides disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, improved yield, and enhanced nutritional quality. The genetic modifications and selections are designed to confer multiple functions within one variety, reducing the need for multiple separate breeding programs.

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