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 varieties that are not easily replicable.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01057282, which incorporates specific genetic traits through crossing and backcrossing techniques, including the use of transgenic genes for herbicide resistance and dicamba tolerance, and employs molecular marker-assisted selection to enhance desirable characteristics, allowing for the creation of stable and high-yielding soybean plants with improved agronomic traits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional breeding techniques are used, then soybean varieties can be developed with desirable traits, but the process is time-consuming and unpredictable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictability of breeding outcomeVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical breeding methods (cross-pollination, selection, and generation advancement) with molecular marker-assisted selection technology. This substitution enables direct detection of desired genetic traits at the DNA level, eliminating the need for time-consuming phenotypic evaluation and multiple generation cycles, thereby significantly reducing breeding time and improving predictability

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces molecular markers as intermediary tools that serve as genetic signposts linked to desirable traits. These markers act as mediators between the breeder and the target traits, allowing indirect but highly accurate selection of desired characteristics without requiring direct observation or manipulation of the complex breeding process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If conventional breeding techniques are used, then soybean varieties can be developed, but the results are not easily replicable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidreplicability of breeding process
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through molecular marker detection that provide real-time information on whether desired genetic traits are present. This feedback system allows breeders to make informed decisions at each selection stage, ensuring consistent reproduction of target traits across different breeding cycles and locations, thereby enhancing both variety stability and process replicability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the selection parameter from phenotypic characteristics (which are influenced by environmental factors and difficult to standardize) to genotypic markers (which are stable and easily measurable). This parameter transformation enables precise control and replication of breeding outcomes by targeting specific DNA sequences rather than variable physical traits

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If transgenic genes are introduced for herbicide resistance, then agronomic traits are improved, but the genetic complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveherbicide resistanceVSAvoidgenetic structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by using molecular markers to pre-identify and select plants that have successfully incorporated transgenic genes before they are expressed or before further breeding is performed. This advance detection ensures that only plants with the desired genetic modifications proceed to subsequent stages, managing genetic complexity through controlled selection rather than unmanaged propagation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
