Solution Overview

Problem

The development of new soybean varieties is a time-consuming and unpredictable process due to the complexity of combining desirable traits like disease resistance, yield, and environmental adaptability, making it challenging for breeders to consistently produce superior varieties using conventional breeding methods.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of the soybean variety 0232405, which can be crossed with itself or other plants to produce hybrid seeds and plants with specific desirable traits such as herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality, using methods like backcrossing and genetic transformation to introduce desired genetic loci, allowing for the development of stable and high-yielding soybean varieties.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then genetic diversity and adaptability are improved, but the breeding process becomes time-consuming and unpredictable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic diversityVSAvoidbreeding process time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the genetic composition parameters through controlled cross-breeding programs. Specific genetic traits are selected and combined in defined ratios across multiple generations, transforming the unpredictable genetic mixing process into a controlled parameter adjustment process that maintains genetic diversity while reducing breeding time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If multiple generations of selection and crossing are performed, then desirable traits are combined, but the process complexity and resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination consistencyVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program is segmented into distinct generational stages (P1, P2, F1, F2, etc.), with specific selection criteria and crossing protocols assigned to each stage. This segmentation allows complex multi-generational breeding to be managed as a series of simpler, standardized steps, improving trait combination consistency while making the overall process more manageable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Parental lines are pre-selected and characterized for specific desirable traits before the breeding program begins. This preliminary action ensures that only parents with the required genetic characteristics are used, reducing the need for extensive later-generation selection and simplifying the overall breeding program structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If extensive field testing and evaluation are conducted, then variety superiority is confirmed, but the cost and time投入 increase

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

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program incorporates systematic feedback mechanisms where performance data from each generational stage is collected and used to guide subsequent breeding decisions. This feedback allows for early identification of superior lines, enabling more precise evaluation with fewer resources by focusing testing on the most promising candidates rather than conducting exhaustive testing on all variants

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
