Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional soybean breeding methods are used to develop new varieties with improved traits, then genetic diversity and trait combination are achieved, but the process requires extensive research efforts and time due to the complexity of genetic combinations and environmental factors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying specific genetic loci through genome editing techniques (CRISPR-Cas9, TALENs, ZFNs) to directly alter traits of interest. Instead of relying on traditional cross-breeding that requires multiple generations to accumulate desired traits, the invention directly edits the DNA sequence at target loci, changing the genetic parameters to achieve desired phenotypes in a single step or fewer generations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of traditional cross-breeding and phenotypic selection with a molecular-level approach using genome editing tools. Instead of mechanically crossing plants and selecting offspring based on observable traits over many generations, the invention uses molecular scissors (CRISPR-Cas9, TALENs, ZFNs) to precisely cut and modify DNA at specific locations, substituting the lengthy mechanical breeding process with a targeted molecular intervention.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then genetic variation is achieved, but the complexity of genetic combinations makes it difficult to predict outcomes and requires extensive research efforts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex task of improving multiple traits into separate, targeted genetic loci edits. Instead of attempting to combine multiple traits through complex cross-breeding programs that require tracking numerous genetic combinations, the invention segments the genome into specific target loci and applies independent edits to each locus using genome editing tools, simplifying the overall breeding program complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary molecular tools (CRISPR-Cas9, TALENs, ZFNs) that mediate between the breeder's intent and the genetic outcome. These intermediary editing systems provide precise control over which genetic changes are made, allowing predictable outcomes without requiring extensive research into complex genetic interactions that would otherwise be necessary in traditional breeding.
3Reliability
If conventional breeding approaches are used to develop disease resistance and yield improvement, then natural genetic diversity is utilized, but the process is inefficient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by directly modifying genetic parameters associated with disease resistance genes through genome editing. Instead of relying on slow natural selection and multiple generations of breeding to accumulate resistance traits, the invention directly changes the DNA sequence at resistance gene loci to enhance or confer disease resistance, dramatically improving breeding efficiency while maintaining reliable resistance outcomes.
