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, as they rely on conventional breeding techniques that are time-consuming and unpredictable, and often result in varieties that are not easily replicable.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01067515, 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 production of seeds and plants with consistent morphological and physiological characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding techniques are used to develop soybean varieties, then genetic diversity and trait combination are improved, but the breeding process becomes time-consuming and unpredictable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoidbreeding process time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting parental lines with desired traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, nutritional quality) before crossing. The breeding program systematically identifies and combines specific genetic loci in advance through controlled crosses, rather than relying on random mutation and selection over multiple generations. This preliminary selection and combination of traits accelerates the breeding process while maintaining genetic diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding techniques are used to develop soybean varieties, then natural genetic variation is maintained, but the ability to replicate varieties consistently is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic variationVSAvoidvariety replicability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies copying by developing standardized breeding protocols and maintaining detailed records of parental lines, crossing schemes, and selection criteria. This allows for precise replication of successful variety combinations across different breeding programs and locations. The systematic documentation and standardization enable consistent reproduction of varieties with specific trait combinations, improving reliability while preserving genetic variation through controlled crossing designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple breeding objectives are pursued simultaneously, then variety improvement is comprehensive, but the breeding program complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimprovement comprehensivenessVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases and trait categories: Phase 1 focuses on herbicide resistance and yield, Phase 2 on disease resistance, and Phase 3 on nutritional quality. Each phase targets specific traits using appropriate parental lines and selection criteria, reducing the complexity of simultaneously managing all breeding objectives. This segmented approach allows systematic progress toward comprehensive variety improvement without overwhelming program complexity.
