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, and often result in varied genetic combinations that are difficult to predict.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01051835, which incorporates specific genetic traits through crossing and backcrossing techniques, including the use of transgenic genes for herbicide resistance and tolerance to environmental stresses, along with molecular marker-assisted selection to ensure consistent trait expression.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If conventional breeding techniques are used, then breeding process is simple, but breeding time is long and outcomes are unpredictable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreeding timeVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical breeding processes with molecular marker-assisted selection and transgenic techniques. Molecular markers enable direct identification and selection of plants with desired traits without lengthy phenotypic screening, while transgenic methods allow precise introduction of specific genes (e.g., herbicide resistance, disease resistance) to achieve predictable breeding outcomes faster than traditional crossbreeding.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of breeding by introducing molecular genetic tools and transgenic modifications. This allows selection based on DNA markers rather than phenotypic traits, enabling earlier and more accurate identification of desired characteristics. The use of transgenes introduces new genetic parameters that can be directly controlled and tracked, reducing the time needed to achieve stable varieties.

2Reliability

If conventional breeding techniques are used, then breeding methods are simple, but trait combination is unpredictable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait expression consistencyVSAvoidbreeding technique complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses molecular marker-assisted selection to replace phenotypic screening, enabling reliable prediction and selection of plants with desired trait combinations. Molecular markers provide direct genetic information that predicts trait expression, ensuring consistency across generations. Transgenic techniques further enhance reliability by introducing specific genes with known functions, such as herbicide resistance or disease resistance, that can be reliably transmitted.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through molecular marker screening, where DNA markers provide immediate information about the genetic composition of plants. This feedback allows breeders to select plants with desired trait combinations at early stages, ensuring predictable outcomes. The use of transgenes with known phenotypic effects provides direct feedback on trait expression, enabling reliable selection and stabilization of varieties.
