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 procedures that are time-consuming and unpredictable, and often result in varieties that are not easily replicable.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01057341, which incorporates specific genetic traits through cross-breeding and genetic transformation, including the introduction of transgenic genes for herbicide resistance and dicamba tolerance, allowing for the creation of stable lines with improved agronomic characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

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

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictability of variety developmentVSAvoidtime required for breeding
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical breeding procedures (cross-pollination, selection, and generation advancement) with genetic transformation technology. This allows direct introduction of specific traits through DNA transfer and integration, bypassing the need for multiple generations of crossing and selection, thereby dramatically reducing development time and increasing predictability of trait incorporation

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary genetic modification by directly transforming soybean plants with desired traits before field testing and variety development. This preliminary action of introducing traits through genetic engineering eliminates the need for time-consuming conventional breeding steps, allowing breeders to work with pre-modified lines that already possess target characteristics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

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

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereplicability of varietyVSAvoidbreeding efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates genetically identical copies of modified soybean plants through tissue culture and regeneration techniques. Once a plant with desired traits is successfully transformed, multiple identical copies can be produced in vitro, ensuring consistent replication of the variety across different locations and seasons, thereby improving both replicability and breeding efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple traits are combined in a single variety, then improved agronomic characteristics are achieved, but the breeding process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination of desirable traitsVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple desirable traits into a single soybean variety through genetic transformation by introducing multiple transgenes simultaneously. This allows combination of traits such as herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality in one plant, avoiding the need for multiple separate breeding programs and simplifying the overall process compared to conventional multi-trait stacking

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
