Solution Overview

Problem

Current soybean breeding methods face challenges in developing stable, high-yielding soybean 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 variations due to environmental factors.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01058664, which includes specific genetic traits like glyphosate and dicamba tolerance, resistance to diseases, and improved nutritional quality, achieved through a combination of traditional breeding and genetic transformation, allowing for the creation of hybrid seeds and plants with consistent agronomic characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional breeding procedures are used to develop soybean varieties with desirable traits, then disease resistance and drought tolerance can be achieved, but the breeding process becomes time-consuming and unpredictable with environmental variations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding process time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical breeding procedures with genetic transformation technology. Specifically, transgenic soybean plants are created by directly introducing desired genetic traits (such as disease resistance genes and drought tolerance genes) into the soybean genome using biotechnological methods, thereby eliminating the need for time-consuming conventional crossing and selection processes while achieving reliable expression of target traits

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the fundamental parameter of trait introduction from phenotypic selection in conventional breeding to direct genetic modification. By altering the method of trait incorporation at the molecular level, the breeding process achieves both time efficiency and trait reliability simultaneously, as desired characteristics can be directly engineered into the genome rather than selected through multiple generations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If conventional breeding methods are used to improve soybean nutritional quality, then compositional traits can be enhanced, but the process lacks consistency across different environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenutritional qualityVSAvoidcompositional consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional phenotypic selection methods with direct genetic transformation to improve nutritional quality. By introducing specific genes that control compositional traits (such as oil content, protein composition, or amino acid profiles) directly into the soybean genome, the method achieves precise control over nutritional characteristics that remains consistent across different environmental conditions, eliminating the variability inherent in conventional breeding

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single soybean variety through conventional breeding, then agronomic improvement can be achieved, but the complexity and unpredictability of the breeding program increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic traitsVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple desirable traits into a single transgenic soybean variety by simultaneously introducing multiple genes through genetic transformation. This approach combines disease resistance genes, drought tolerance genes, and nutritional quality genes into one unified genetic construct, achieving comprehensive agronomic improvement while simplifying the breeding program compared to conventional methods that would require multiple sequential crossing programs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces complex multi-generational crossing programs with a single genetic transformation event that can introduce multiple traits simultaneously. By using biotechnological methods to directly engineer the genome, the system achieves high adaptability with multiple desirable traits while dramatically reducing program complexity compared to traditional breeding approaches

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