Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding methods are used to combine multiple traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, herbicide resistance), then the complexity of the breeding program increases, but the ability to effectively combine all desired traits in a single variety deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination capabilityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program is segmented into distinct phases: initial cross between parents with different traits, followed by backcrossing to the recurrent parent, and finally selection of progeny with desired traits. This segmentation allows systematic combination of multiple traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, yield) while managing program complexity through structured steps rather than attempting to combine all traits simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The recurrent parent is pre-selected to possess the desired baseline traits (high yield, good quality) before the breeding program begins. This preliminary action establishes a foundation that reduces the complexity of subsequent breeding steps, as only the introduction of new traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance) needs to be achieved through crossing and selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If multiple traits are introduced through genetic transformation and backcrossing, then the desired traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance) are achieved, but the time required for variety development increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait stabilityVSAvoidvariety development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The backcrossing process is continued for multiple generations (BC1, BC2, etc.) without interruption, continuously recovering the recurrent parent genome while maintaining the introduced traits. This continuous action ensures trait stability is achieved efficiently by systematically eliminating unwanted genetic material from the donor parent while preserving desired traits, reducing overall development time compared to discontinuous approaches

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

Molecular markers are used to provide feedback on the genetic composition of progeny at each backcrossing generation. This feedback allows breeders to select plants that have recovered the recurrent parent genome while retaining the introduced traits, accelerating the breeding process and reducing time by avoiding unnecessary generations of backcrossing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Stability of the object's composition

If extensive backcrossing is performed to recover the recurrent parent genome, then the purity of the recurrent parent traits is improved, but the manufacturing complexity of the breeding process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenome purityVSAvoidbreeding process simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

Molecular marker technology replaces traditional phenotypic selection methods for monitoring genome recovery during backcrossing. Instead of relying on time-consuming phenotypic evaluation to assess genome purity, DNA-based markers provide rapid, accurate detection of genetic composition, simplifying the breeding process while maintaining high genome purity standards

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The selection criteria are changed from phenotypic parameters (observable traits) to genotypic parameters (molecular marker profiles) during the backcrossing process. This parameter change allows for more precise and efficient monitoring of genome recovery, reducing the number of backcrossing generations needed to achieve desired purity levels and simplifying the overall breeding process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
