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 01072782, which incorporates specific genetic modifications through transgenic genes and genome editing techniques, such as Cas endonucleases, to confer traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality, and can be propagated using methods like backcrossing and genetic marker-assisted selection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional soybean breeding methods are used, then extensive research efforts are required, but the prediction of improved traits is difficult and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracy of improved traitsVSAvoidbreeding research time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical breeding methods (crossing, selection, and evaluation) with molecular marker-based detection systems. Specific DNA markers are used to directly detect the presence of desired genetic traits, eliminating the need for time-consuming phenotypic evaluation and enabling accurate prediction of trait inheritance without extensive breeding research.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple traits are combined in a single variety, then the agronomic quality is improved, but the genetic combination complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination of improved traitsVSAvoidgenetic combination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs molecular marker detection to provide feedback on the genetic composition of breeding progeny. By detecting specific DNA markers associated with desired traits, breeders can identify plants carrying multiple improved traits and make informed selection decisions, simplifying the management of complex genetic combinations through precise genetic information feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If stable, high-yielding varieties are developed, then the grain production is maximized, but the breeding process requires numerous steps and extensive effort

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrain production yieldVSAvoidbreeding process steps
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by using molecular marker detection early in the breeding process to identify plants carrying desired genetic traits. This allows breeders to select promising genotypes at the seedling stage based on DNA marker presence rather than waiting for phenotypic expression, significantly reducing the number of breeding steps required to develop stable, high-yielding varieties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
