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 predict and require extensive research efforts due to the complexity of genetic combinations and environmental factors.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01067534, which includes specific genetic loci conferring traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved agronomic characteristics through backcrossing and genetic transformation, allowing for the introduction of desirable traits while maintaining the overall morphological and physiological characteristics of the parent variety.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional soybean breeding methods are used, then existing varieties can be maintained, but developing new varieties with improved traits is difficult and time-consuming due to genetic complexity and environmental factors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictability of trait inheritanceVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing genetic transformation and backcrossing operations before the natural breeding cycle completes. Specifically, the soybean variety is transformed with genes conferring desired traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, drought tolerance) and then backcrossed to parent varieties multiple times to stabilize these traits. This preliminary genetic modification followed by systematic backcrossing accelerates the breeding process and increases predictability of trait inheritance, resolving the contradiction between reliability and time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If multiple traits are combined in a single variety, then agronomic performance improves, but the complexity of achieving and maintaining these combinations increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield and agronomic qualityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple desirable traits into a single soybean variety through a systematic approach. Genes for herbicide resistance, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved agronomic characteristics are combined in one variety. The backcrossing process consolidates these traits while maintaining genetic stability. This merging strategy achieves high productivity through multiple concurrent traits without proportionally increasing breeding program complexity, as the backcrossing methodology provides a structured framework for managing the complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by modifying specific genetic parameters through transformation and selection. By changing the genetic composition parameters (introducing specific genes, adjusting allele frequencies through backcrossing), the variety achieves improved productivity. The controlled changes in genetic parameters allow for predictable trait combinations, managing the complexity of multi-trait integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If extensive research and selection steps are performed, then variety stability and performance improve, but the time and resources required increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidbreeding program duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing genetic transformation and multiple backcrossing operations before final variety stabilization. This preliminary genetic engineering approach, combined with systematic backcrossing to parent varieties, achieves variety stability more efficiently than conventional methods. The process reduces the number of sequential selection steps needed while maintaining reliability, thereby reducing overall breeding program duration and resource requirements.
