Solution Overview

Problem

Existing soybean varieties lack improved combinations of traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, and nutritional quality, making it challenging to develop stable and high-yielding soybean varieties that meet agronomic and nutritional demands.

Innovation Solution

Development of the novel soybean variety 01098245, which includes genetic modifications for herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality, achieved through genetic transformation using engineered nucleases and specific locus conversions, along with breeding methods like backcrossing and hybridization to enhance desired traits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional soybean varieties are used, then basic agricultural production is maintained, but improved combinations of traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, and herbicide tolerance are lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidseed yield
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, high seed yield) into a single soybean variety through genetic transformation and breeding programs, creating an integrated solution that addresses multiple agricultural challenges simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If genetic modifications are introduced to improve traits, then herbicide resistance and nutritional quality improve, but the complexity of the variety development increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveherbicide toleranceVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary genetic transformations and locus conversions during the breeding program to pre-establish desirable traits such as herbicide resistance and disease tolerance, allowing these traits to be inherited and stabilized through subsequent breeding generations without requiring complex interventions later

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If multiple breeding steps are performed to combine improved traits, then trait combination improves, but the time required for variety development increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait stabilityVSAvoidvariety development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary genetic modifications and locus conversions early in the breeding program, establishing stable traits before subsequent breeding steps, thereby reducing the overall time required while maintaining trait stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes locus conversions that change specific genetic parameters to achieve desired traits more efficiently, accelerating the breeding process by directly modifying key genetic loci rather than relying solely on traditional multi-generational selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
