Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing soybean varieties lack improved combinations of traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, insect resistance, drought tolerance, and herbicide tolerance, which are essential for maximizing grain production and meeting the demands of food and animal feed supply.
Innovation Solution
Development of the novel soybean variety 01098117, which incorporates genetic modifications and locus conversions for herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved agronomic qualities through methods like genome editing using engineered nucleases, and traditional breeding techniques to enhance traits like seed yield and drought tolerance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional breeding techniques are used to develop soybean varieties, then genetic diversity is maintained, but the speed of trait improvement and time to market is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting parental lines with desired traits (herbicide tolerance, disease resistance, yield characteristics) before initiating the breeding program. The parental germplasm is carefully chosen and characterized in advance, allowing the breeding process to proceed more efficiently toward predetermined goals rather than discovering traits during the breeding process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines traditional mechanical breeding methods with modern molecular marker technology and genetic analysis. This substitution of purely mechanical selection with molecular-level characterization accelerates the identification of desirable traits and enables more precise breeding decisions, reducing the time required to develop new varieties.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple traits are combined in a single variety to meet program goals, then the variety becomes more complex and valuable, but the breeding process becomes more difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases, each targeting specific traits. Parental lines are selected for specific combinations of traits (e.g., one parent for herbicide tolerance, another for disease resistance), and these are combined systematically through controlled crosses. This segmented approach to trait incorporation makes the complex multi-trait breeding program more manageable and efficient.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs universal breeding strategies that can be applied across different soybean varieties and trait combinations. The breeding program uses standardized protocols for cross-making, population management, and trait evaluation that can be universally applied regardless of which specific traits are being combined, reducing program complexity through methodological consistency.
3Reliability
If selection pressure is increased to improve yield and resistance traits, then the quality of selected plants improves, but the genetic diversity of the population decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies feedback through continuous evaluation of breeding populations using molecular markers and phenotypic assessment. Selected plants are characterized for their trait expression, and this information feeds back into subsequent selection decisions. This feedback loop allows the program to maintain selection pressure for desired traits while monitoring and managing genetic diversity through informed selection rather than random drift.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes parameters by using molecular marker data to inform selection decisions rather than relying solely on phenotypic observation. This parameter change from visual selection to marker-assisted selection allows for more precise control over which genetic variants are retained, maintaining genetic diversity while ensuring consistent expression of desired traits in the final variety.
