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 01083835, which includes specific genetic modifications and locus conversions, such as those conferring herbicide resistance and disease resistance, 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

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 efforts and time due to the complexity of genetic combinations and environmental factors

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-introducing specific genetic modifications (locus conversions) into the soybean variety before field testing and commercial deployment. The genetic traits for herbicide resistance and disease resistance are already incorporated into variety 01083835 through controlled genetic transformation and backcrossing, eliminating the need for time-consuming conventional breeding to combine these traits. This preliminary genetic preparation allows direct advancement to performance evaluation and commercialization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple trait improvements are pursued simultaneously in soybean breeding, then the resulting variety can provide comprehensive benefits, but predicting the stability and performance of these combined traits becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-trait improvementVSAvoidtrait stability prediction
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by implementing precise locus conversions at specific genetic locations within the soybean genome. Instead of relying on complex polygenic traits that are difficult to predict, the invention targets specific loci (such as the HPPD locus for herbicide resistance and disease resistance loci) and introduces controlled modifications at these defined positions. This localized genetic modification approach allows for predictable trait expression while maintaining the rest of the genome's integrity and performance characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If extensive breeding research is conducted to ensure variety stability, then reliable high-yielding varieties can be developed, but the complexity and cost of the breeding program increase

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the taking out principle by extracting and isolating specific genetic traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance) and introducing them through controlled locus conversions rather than through complex conventional breeding programs. This extraction approach allows the desired traits to be incorporated into the elite soybean variety 01083835 background without requiring extensive multi-generation breeding research to combine multiple traits. The simplified approach maintains variety stability while reducing breeding program complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
