Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
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 01067703, 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
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional breeding methods are used to develop soybean varieties with improved traits, then trait improvement may be achieved, but the process becomes unpredictable and resource-intensive due to genetic complexity and environmental factors
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 evaluates parental germplasm for specific traits and performs controlled crosses to combine these traits, rather than relying on random mutation and selection. This preliminary selection and structured crossing approach makes the breeding process more predictable and reduces the time required to develop varieties with specific improved traits.
2Adaptability or versatility
If extensive research efforts are invested in conventional breeding to overcome genetic complexity, then trait combination may be achieved, but the process requires excessive resources and time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases: parental line selection, controlled crossing, progeny evaluation, and variety registration. Each phase targets specific traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, nutritional quality, yield) and uses systematic evaluation criteria. This segmented approach allows efficient allocation of resources to specific breeding objectives and reduces overall resource requirements compared to unstructured conventional breeding.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying breeding program parameters such as selecting for specific herbicide resistance mechanisms, disease resistance genes, and nutritional composition thresholds. The breeding program uses defined parameters for evaluating progeny performance (yield, quality, resistance levels) to systematically combine improved traits while optimizing resource use.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple traits are combined in a single variety to meet program goals, then variety improvement is achieved, but the breeding process becomes more complex and difficult to manage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the multi-trait breeding program into modular components: parental selection for specific traits, controlled crossing to combine traits, and systematic progeny evaluation for each trait. This modular segmentation makes managing complex multi-trait varieties more tractable by breaking down the overall complexity into manageable, sequential steps with clear evaluation criteria for each trait combination.
