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 time due to the unpredictability of genetic combinations in conventional breeding.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 01073281, which includes specific genetic modifications and locus conversions for traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved agronomic characteristics through genetic transformation and backcrossing techniques, allowing for precise 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 conventional breeding methods are used to develop soybean varieties with improved traits, then genetic diversity and trait combinations can be explored, but the process requires extensive research and time due to unpredictability of genetic combinations

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing parental germplasm for specific traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, yield components) before breeding. This allows breeders to select parents with known, desirable trait profiles, reducing the unpredictability and time required for variety development while maintaining genetic diversity in the breeding program.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding methods are used to develop soybean varieties with improved traits, then genetic diversity and trait combinations can be explored, but extensive research is required due to unpredictability of genetic combinations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination diversityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by systematically evaluating and characterizing parental germplasm for specific traits (herbicide resistance to glyphosate and dicamba, disease resistance, yield components) before crossing. This feedback loop allows breeders to make informed decisions about parent selection and breeding strategy, reducing program complexity while maintaining the ability to explore diverse trait combinations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Manufacturing precision

If genetic transformation and backcrossing techniques are used to introduce desired traits, then precise introduction of traits is achieved while maintaining original variety characteristics, but the breeding process becomes more technologically complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait introduction precisionVSAvoidbreeding technique complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding process into distinct stages: (1) selecting parental germplasm with specific traits, (2) performing controlled crosses, (3) advancing generations through backcrossing, and (4) selecting for desired traits at each stage. This segmentation allows precise introduction of traits while maintaining variety characteristics, managing complexity through systematic, stepwise procedures rather than attempting all operations simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
