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

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01072329, 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 highly unpredictable and resource-intensive requiring extensive research time and resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination flexibilityVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing parental lines for specific traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, yield components) before crossing. This allows breeders to predict offspring performance and select optimal parental combinations in advance, reducing the time and resources needed for variety development while maintaining genetic diversity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If extensive crossing and selection is performed to achieve desired trait combinations, then improved yield and resistance traits can be obtained, but the complexity and resource requirements of the breeding program increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease and herbicide resistanceVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by focusing breeding efforts on specific trait combinations rather than attempting to improve all traits simultaneously. Each parental line is selected for particular local excellences (e.g., one parent for herbicide resistance, another for disease resistance), and these are combined through targeted crossing to achieve reliable multi-trait varieties without excessive program complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple generations of backcrossing are performed to introduce specific traits, then desired resistance and agronomic traits can be incorporated, but the breeding process requires extensive resources and multiple research cycles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic trait improvementVSAvoidbreeding resources consumed
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by performing a limited number of backcrossing generations (typically 1-3) rather than extensive multi-generational breeding. This partial approach is sufficient to introduce desired agronomic traits while consuming fewer breeding resources, achieving acceptable levels of trait incorporation without the full resource expenditure of traditional extensive backcrossing programs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
