Solution Overview

Problem

Current soybean breeding methods face challenges in developing stable, high-yielding varieties with improved traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and herbicide resistance, which are not adequately addressed by existing technologies.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01064748, which includes specific genetic loci conferring traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved agronomic characteristics through genetic transformation and breeding techniques like backcrossing, allowing for the combination of desirable traits in a single variety.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional soybean breeding methods are used, then traditional varieties are maintained, but they fail to achieve sufficient disease resistance, drought tolerance, and herbicide resistance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidyield
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, herbicide resistance, and high yield) into a single soybean variety through backcrossing and genetic transformation. The variety 01064748 integrates resistance genes from different parental lines while maintaining superior agronomic performance, resolving the contradiction between reliability and productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces genetic modifications that change the physiological parameters of the soybean plant, including enhanced resistance gene expression and improved stress tolerance mechanisms. These parameter changes enable the plant to simultaneously achieve high reliability (disease resistance) and high productivity (yield).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple traits are combined in a single variety, then agronomic performance improves, but breeding complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic performanceVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding process is segmented into distinct stages: initial cross to introduce resistance genes, backcrossing generations to recover parental genome, and selection phases to maintain desired traits. This segmentation of the breeding process manages complexity while achieving multi-trait integration in variety 01064748.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs preliminary selection of parental lines with specific desirable traits, and uses marker-assisted selection during backcrossing to pre-identify plants carrying resistance genes. This preliminary action reduces the complexity of subsequent breeding steps while ensuring successful trait combination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
