Solution Overview

Problem

Existing soybean cultivars lack improved combinations of 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 20430911 with specific traits introduced through crossing, mutagenesis, or transformation, and the use of transgenic or mutant traits, along with methods for introgression and breeding to enhance characteristics like disease resistance, insect resistance, and altered fatty acid profiles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to develop new cultivars with improved traits, then desirable traits such as disease resistance and higher yield can be achieved, but the development process takes 6-12 years and requires significant resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-screening and selecting parental lines with desired traits (disease resistance, yield potential) before initiating the breeding program. This advance preparation of germplasm with known desirable characteristics accelerates the breeding process while ensuring reliable trait inheritance in the final cultivar.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single cultivar through traditional breeding, then improved seed yield and disease resistance can be achieved, but the process is time-consuming and requires precise forward planning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, high seed yield, drought tolerance) into a single integrated cultivar through systematic breeding. By combining these traits in one germplasm resource, the patent achieves improved productivity while managing breeding program complexity through coordinated selection and crossing strategies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If conventional breeding methods are used to alter fatty acid profiles, then improved oxidative stability and nutrition can be achieved, but the process requires extensive time and resource investment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoxidative stabilityVSAvoidbreeding resource investment
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by selectively breeding soybean cultivars with modified fatty acid compositions (altering the ratios of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids). This genetic parameter modification achieves improved oxidative stability and nutritional quality while managing resource investment through efficient selection processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
