Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing soybean cultivars face challenges in combining desirable traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and altered fatty acid profiles, which are time-consuming to develop and require precise planning and resource efficiency.
Innovation Solution
Development of a new soybean cultivar, designated 18350509, with improved traits achieved through traditional breeding and genetic modification, including resistance to herbicides and diseases, and optimized fatty acid composition, using methods like backcrossing and transgenic techniques.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then disease resistance and yield improvement are achieved, but the development process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting parental lines with specific desirable traits (disease resistance, yield potential, fatty acid profiles) before initiating the breeding program. This forward planning allows the breeding process to proceed more efficiently by avoiding later corrective selections and reducing the overall development time from 6-12 years to a more streamlined timeline.
Solution Approach 2:
The breeding program is segmented into distinct phases: parental selection, controlled crossing, progeny evaluation, and cultivar registration. This segmentation allows for systematic progression through each stage with specific objectives, enabling parallel processing of multiple crosses and families, thereby reducing total development time while maintaining disease resistance traits.
2Productivity
If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single cultivar, then agronomic quality and yield are improved, but the breeding program complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple desirable traits from different parental lines into a single cultivar (18350509), combining disease resistance, high yield potential, and optimized fatty acid profiles. This consolidation of traits into one cultivar simplifies the overall breeding objective by creating a unified solution that addresses multiple agronomic needs simultaneously, reducing the complexity of managing separate breeding programs for each trait.
Solution Approach 2:
The developed cultivar serves multiple functions: it provides disease resistance, achieves high seed yield, and offers improved fatty acid composition. This multi-functionality reduces breeding program complexity by creating a single cultivar that can be deployed across various agricultural contexts without requiring separate breeding lines for different traits, thereby simplifying seed production and field management.
3Loss of energy
If precise forward planning is implemented, then resource efficiency is improved, but the flexibility to make changes in direction is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The breeding program incorporates feedback mechanisms at each evaluation stage, where progeny performance data on disease resistance, yield, and fatty acid composition are systematically collected and analyzed. This feedback allows the breeding team to assess whether the cultivar is meeting program goals and to make informed adjustments to selection criteria or breeding strategies, maintaining resource efficiency while preserving necessary flexibility for adaptive management.
