Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
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, with conventional breeding methods lacking control over genetic combinations and requiring extensive resources.
Innovation Solution
The soybean variety 0330738 is developed through specific breeding methods, including crossing and selection techniques, which allows for the introduction of desirable traits such as herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality, and can be used in various breeding protocols to produce hybrid seeds and plants with consistent performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean varieties, then desirable traits can be combined, but the process becomes time-consuming and unpredictable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by creating and maintaining a pre-selected germplasm pool with known desirable traits before the actual breeding process. Parents are chosen from this pre-characterized pool, allowing breeders to predictably combine traits without extensive field testing of random crosses, thus reducing the time required while maintaining trait combination effectiveness
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean varieties, then genetic diversity can be explored, but the process lacks control over genetic combinations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by systematically evaluating and characterizing germplasm for specific desirable traits, then using this information to guide subsequent breeding decisions. Parents are selected based on proven performance data, and progeny are evaluated against known standards, creating a controlled feedback loop that ensures predictable genetic combinations while maintaining diversity
Solution Approach 2:
Germplasm is pre-characterized for specific traits before breeding begins, allowing breeders to make informed decisions about parental combinations. This preliminary characterization provides control over which genetic combinations will be pursued, eliminating the randomness of conventional breeding while preserving genetic diversity
3Productivity
If extensive breeding programs are conducted to improve soybean varieties, then trait improvements can be achieved, but large amounts of resources are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by focusing breeding efforts on specific, pre-identified desirable traits rather than attempting to improve all possible traits simultaneously. By concentrating resources on targeted trait combinations using pre-characterized germplasm, the program achieves meaningful improvements with reduced resource requirements compared to comprehensive breeding approaches
