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 01072280, which includes specific genetic modifications and locus conversions for traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved agronomic characteristics, achieved through genetic transformation and backcrossing techniques, allowing for the introduction of desired traits while maintaining the original variety's morphological and physiological characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop soybean varieties with improved traits, then genetic diversity and trait combinations can be explored, but the process becomes complex, time-consuming, and unpredictable due to extensive research efforts required

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying specific genetic loci in the soybean variety through targeted genetic transformations. Instead of exploring all possible genetic combinations through traditional breeding, the invention changes specific genetic parameters (loci) to introduce desired traits such as herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved agronomic characteristics while maintaining the existing genetic background.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs preliminary action by performing locus conversions before completing the full breeding process. Genetic transformations are introduced at specific stages during backcrossing, allowing breeders to pre-establish desired traits in the genetic line before final variety development and testing, thereby reducing the complexity and time of subsequent breeding steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop soybean varieties with improved traits, then genetic diversity can be explored, but the breeding time and research effort required increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait improvement capabilityVSAvoidbreeding program duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By changing specific genetic parameters through targeted locus conversions rather than exploring all genetic combinations, the patent accelerates the breeding process. Specific genetic loci are modified to introduce desired traits directly, eliminating the need for extensive multi-generational breeding and selection that would otherwise be required to achieve the same trait improvements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces desired genetic traits at preliminary stages of the breeding program through genetic transformation. By establishing herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and other improved traits early in the backcrossing process rather than waiting for later selection stages, the overall breeding time is reduced while still achieving the desired trait improvements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If multiple genetic traits are introduced through traditional breeding, then variety improvement is achieved, but the cost and complexity of breeding programs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces multiple improved traits by making targeted changes at specific genetic loci through separate or combined genetic transformations. Rather than relying on complex multi-parent crosses and extensive selection to accumulate multiple traits, the invention directly modifies specific genetic parameters (loci) to introduce herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved agronomic characteristics into the stable genetic background of the base variety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple desired traits are introduced at preliminary stages of the breeding program through genetic transformation before the completion of backcrossing. By establishing multiple improved traits early in the development process rather than accumulating them through multiple rounds of crossing and selection, the patent reduces breeding program complexity while maintaining variety stability through the systematic integration of transformed loci.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
