Solution Overview

Problem

Current soybean breeding methods face challenges in developing stable, high-yielding varieties with improved traits such as disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, and nutritional quality, which are difficult to predict and require extensive research and time due to the complexity of genetic combinations and environmental factors.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01064083, which includes specific genetic loci conferring traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality, achieved through a combination of traditional breeding and genetic transformation, allowing for the creation of hybrid seeds and plants suitable for commercial production and further breeding protocols.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop soybean varieties with improved traits, then genetic diversity and trait combinations can be achieved, but the process requires extensive time and shows high unpredictability in outcome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictability of trait expressionVSAvoidbreeding 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 markers to identify plants carrying specific genes before phenotypic expression occurs. This allows breeders to predict trait inheritance patterns and make informed selection decisions early in the breeding process, reducing both time and unpredictability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If multiple traits are combined in a single soybean variety, then agronomic performance and resistance are improved, but the genetic complexity and breeding difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic performance stabilityVSAvoidgenetic combination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex multi-trait breeding problem into manageable components by developing parental lines that each excel in specific traits (one parent with herbicide resistance, another with disease resistance and nutritional quality). Molecular markers are used to track individual gene segments through generations, allowing systematic recombination of desired traits while monitoring genetic complexity at each step.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates universal breeding tools by developing molecular marker systems that can detect multiple traits simultaneously and parental lines that serve multiple functions (e.g., a parent line that provides both herbicide resistance and good agronomic performance). This multi-functionality simplifies the breeding process by reducing the number of separate crossbreeding operations needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding procedures are used, then natural genetic variation is utilized, but the process shows high variability in progeny traits and requires extensive testing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic variation utilizationVSAvoidprogeny trait consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by using molecular markers to continuously monitor the presence and combination of desired genes in breeding progeny. This genetic-level feedback allows real-time identification of plants carrying specific trait combinations, enabling precise selection decisions that ensure consistent trait expression in subsequent generations while maintaining natural genetic variation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
