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 unpredictable and requires extensive research efforts and time

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-selecting and characterizing parental lines with specific desirable traits (disease resistance, yield potential, nutritional quality) before crossing. The breeding program establishes clear selection criteria and evaluates parental germplasm in advance to predict progeny performance, reducing the time required for extensive field testing of random crosses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation of breeding progeny across multiple generations. Performance data from field trials on yield, disease resistance, and nutritional quality are fed back into the selection process to refine parental line choices and crossing strategies, making the breeding process more predictable and efficient while maintaining genetic diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If multiple traits are combined in a single soybean variety, then agronomic performance and resistance are improved, but the breeding complexity and difficulty of achieving stable combinations increase

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the multi-trait breeding program into separate modular components: disease resistance selection, yield potential selection, and nutritional quality selection. Each trait is evaluated and selected for independently in different stages of the breeding process, then combined through controlled crosses. This modular approach reduces the complexity of simultaneously managing all traits together while ensuring stable combinations in the final variety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If extensive field testing and evaluation are conducted to ensure variety performance, then reliability and consistency are improved, but resource consumption and research efforts increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance evaluation accuracyVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by conducting initial screening tests on breeding progeny using controlled environment assays and molecular markers to identify promising candidates before committing them to extensive field trials. This preliminary evaluation filters out unlikely candidates early, reducing the number of plants that require resource-intensive multi-location field testing while maintaining high measurement precision for the selected individuals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
