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 difficulties in consistently producing superior genetic combinations.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01058513, which incorporates specific genetic loci conferring traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality through genetic transformation and backcrossing, allowing for the creation of stable and high-yielding soybean plants with predictable genetic profiles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

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

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictability of genetic combinationsVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting parental lines with desired traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, nutritional quality) and using molecular marker-assisted selection to predict offspring characteristics before full breeding cycles complete. This allows breeders to identify promising genetic combinations early, reducing both time and increasing reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If conventional breeding techniques are used, then soybean varieties can be developed, but consistent production of superior genetic combinations is difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconsistency of superior traitsVSAvoidyield of superior varieties
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback through molecular marker-assisted selection, where DNA markers linked to desirable traits are tracked through breeding generations. This provides continuous feedback on genetic composition, allowing breeders to select plants with confirmed superior traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, nutritional quality) rather than relying on phenotypic observation alone, thus ensuring consistent production of superior genetic combinations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If genetic transformation and backcrossing are used, then stable high-yielding varieties with predictable traits are achieved, but the process complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of genetic traitsVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding process into distinct modular stages: (1) genetic transformation to introduce specific traits, (2) backcrossing to recover elite parental background, and (3) molecular marker-assisted selection to track desired genes. This segmentation allows complex genetic modifications to be managed systematically, maintaining trait stability while making the overall process more controllable and less chaotic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
