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 significant research costs and variability in genetic outcomes.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01058524, which incorporates specific genetic traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality through genetic transformation and backcrossing, allowing for the creation of stable, 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 with desirable traits, but the process is time-consuming and produces unpredictable genetic outcomes

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting parental lines with known desirable traits and using molecular marker-assisted selection to predict offspring characteristics before full phenotypic expression occurs. This allows breeders to make informed decisions early in the breeding process, reducing both time and increasing predictability of genetic outcomes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If conventional breeding techniques are used, then soybean varieties can be developed with desirable traits, but research costs are significant

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictability of genetic outcomesVSAvoidresearch costs
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback through molecular marker-assisted selection, where DNA markers provide continuous information about the presence and combination of desirable traits throughout the breeding process. This feedback mechanism allows for early identification of promising lines, enabling resource allocation to the most promising candidates and reducing overall research costs while improving predictability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Manufacturing precision

If genetic transformation and backcrossing are used, then stable high-yielding soybean plants with predictable genetic profiles are created, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic profile precisionVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by breaking down the complex breeding process into distinct, manageable stages: initial genetic transformation, multiple generations of backcrossing with selective screening, and final variety stabilization. Each stage has specific objectives and selection criteria, making the overall complex process more controllable and predictable while achieving high genetic precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
