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 01072813, which includes specific genetic modifications and locus conversions, such as those conferring herbicide resistance and disease tolerance, 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

1Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop soybean varieties with improved traits, then extensive research efforts and time are required, but the prediction of successful varieties remains difficult and unreliable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracy of breeding outcomesVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical breeding methods (crossing, selection, and evaluation in the field) with molecular marker-based identification systems. By using DNA markers linked to desirable traits, breeders can predict breeding outcomes with high accuracy before actual crossing occurs, eliminating the need for extensive field testing and significantly reducing development time while improving reliability of variety selection.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple traits are combined in a single soybean variety through traditional breeding, then the genetic complexity increases, but the stability and uniformity of the variety decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of improved traitsVSAvoidvariety uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs molecular marker feedback systems that allow breeders to monitor and verify the presence of specific genetic traits at each breeding stage. By using marker-assisted selection, breeders can precisely track the inheritance of multiple traits through generations, ensuring that the final variety maintains genetic stability and uniformity while incorporating multiple desirable traits such as disease resistance, yield improvement, and abiotic stress tolerance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If extensive field testing and evaluation are conducted to ensure variety stability, then the quality and reliability of the bred variety improves, but the productivity and efficiency of the breeding program decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidbreeding program efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary molecular marker-based screening and identification of desirable traits before conducting extensive field testing. By pre-selecting parent lines and predicting progeny performance using DNA markers, the breeding program reduces the number of varieties that need to undergo time-consuming field trials, thereby maintaining variety stability and reliability while significantly improving breeding program productivity and efficiency.
