Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for a novel, superior soybean variety that offers improved yield potential, disease resistance, and adaptability to mechanical harvest, addressing the ongoing challenges in soybean breeding for increased yield and resistance to diseases.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 09AY403123-1, which is characterized by its superior agronomic characteristics, including high yield potential, lodging resistance, emergence, disease resistance, and herbicide tolerance, achieved through selective breeding and potentially enhanced with transgenic traits such as glyphosate tolerance, and adapted for mid to early maturity groups in specific growing regions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional soybean varieties are used, then basic agricultural production is maintained, but yield potential and disease resistance are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield potentialVSAvoiddisease resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple desirable traits (high yield potential, disease resistance, lodging resistance, and herbicide tolerance) into a single integrated soybean variety through selective breeding and transgenic techniques, resolving the contradiction by merging what were previously separate improvement goals into one superior variety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Productivity

If new soybean varieties are developed to increase yield, then productivity improves, but adaptability to mechanical harvest and environmental conditions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveyieldVSAvoidadaptability to mechanical harvest
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies specific agronomic parameters including plant height, pod orientation, and maturity timing to optimize both yield potential and mechanical harvest adaptability, allowing the variety to perform well in both high-yield environments and mechanical harvesting systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If soybean varieties are bred for superior characteristics, then yield and resistance improve, but breeding complexity and development time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary action through the use of transgenic techniques and pre-selected parent lines that carry desirable traits, allowing multiple breeding steps to be completed in advance and reducing the overall complexity and time required for variety development

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
