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 efforts due to the complexity of genetic combinations and environmental factors.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01067694, which includes specific genetic modifications and locus conversions for traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality, achieved through genetic transformation and backcrossing techniques, allowing for the introduction of desired traits while maintaining the morphological and physiological characteristics of the original variety.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding methods are used to develop soybean varieties with improved traits, then genetic diversity and trait combinations can be explored, but the process requires extensive research efforts and time due to the complexity of genetic combinations and environmental factors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination diversityVSAvoidbreeding development 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 tolerance, disease resistance, nutritional quality) before initiating the breeding program. The parental germplasm is carefully chosen and characterized in advance, allowing the breeding process to start with predetermined genetic advantages rather than exploring random variations, thus reducing the time required to develop varieties with specific improved traits

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If extensive crossing and selection is performed to achieve stable, high-yielding varieties, then improved agronomic traits can be obtained, but the complexity of genetic combinations makes trait prediction difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidgenetic combination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation and selection processes at multiple stages of breeding. Performance data from field trials, genetic analysis results, and trait expression measurements are continuously monitored and used to guide subsequent crossing decisions. This feedback loop allows breeders to predict and control trait outcomes more accurately, reducing the complexity of genetic combinations while maintaining variety stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If multiple traits are combined in a single variety to maximize grain production and nutritional quality, then agronomic performance is improved, but the breeding process becomes more complex and requires coordination of multiple genetic factors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrain productionVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies merging by combining multiple desirable traits (herbicide tolerance, disease resistance, enhanced nutritional quality) into single parental lines before crossing. This consolidation approach allows the breeding program to work with pre-integrated trait packages rather than attempting to combine individual traits separately, thereby improving grain production and nutritional quality while reducing breeding program complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
