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 using conventional breeding techniques.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01068065, which incorporates 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 variety.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding techniques are used to combine multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, herbicide resistance), then the complexity of the breeding program increases and the time required to develop stable varieties extends, but the ability to effectively combine all desired traits in a single variety is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination of desirable traitsVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, herbicide resistance) into a single soybean variety through systematic breeding programs that integrate conventional crossing methods with modern molecular marker technology, allowing simultaneous incorporation of multiple traits rather than sequential development

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses molecular markers as intermediaries to track and select for multiple desirable traits during the breeding process, enabling breeders to efficiently combine traits without the complexity of traditional phenotypic selection alone

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If conventional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean varieties with multiple improved traits, then the time required for variety development extends over many generations, but the productivity and speed of bringing new varieties to market is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of varietyVSAvoidbreeding efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary action by using molecular markers to identify and select plants carrying desired traits early in the breeding process, allowing for accelerated development of stable varieties without sacrificing reliability through premature selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through molecular marker-assisted selection, where genetic information is continuously monitored throughout the breeding process to guide selection decisions and ensure the desired traits are stably inherited in subsequent generations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
