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 difficult to combine effectively in a single variety.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01067523, which includes specific genetic loci conferring traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved agronomic characteristics through genetic transformation and backcrossing, allowing for the combination of desirable traits in a single locus conversion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, herbicide resistance) are combined in a single soybean variety through conventional breeding, then the variety exhibits improved agronomic performance, but the breeding process becomes increasingly complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the breeding process by using molecular markers to identify and track specific genes independently. Each desired trait (disease resistance, drought tolerance, herbicide resistance) can be selected for separately through marker-assisted selection, allowing breeders to combine multiple traits systematically rather than through complex phenotypic selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Molecular markers serve as intermediaries between the breeder and the target genes. These markers are linked to specific traits and allow indirect selection of desired genes, simplifying the breeding process by providing a reliable intermediary indicator rather than requiring direct phenotypic evaluation of multiple complex traits simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If multiple desirable traits are combined through conventional breeding methods, then the variety achieves improved agronomic performance, but the time required for variety development increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidvariety development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by using molecular markers to identify and select for multiple desired traits early in the breeding process, before phenotypic expression occurs. This allows breeders to make informed selection decisions at the seedling stage rather than waiting for plants to mature and express complex traits, dramatically reducing the time required to develop multi-trait varieties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Molecular marker analysis provides immediate feedback on the genetic composition of breeding lines. Breeders can quickly determine which plants carry desired trait combinations and make rapid selection decisions, creating a fast feedback loop that accelerates variety development compared to traditional phenotypic selection methods that require waiting for trait expression

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
