Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for a novel, superior soybean variety that offers improved yield potential, disease resistance, and adaptability to various growing conditions, as existing soybean cultivars face challenges such as disease susceptibility and yield instability.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 20883NNR2 Y, which is characterized by its superior agronomic traits including high yield potential, lodging resistance, emergence, disease tolerance, herbicide tolerance, and adaptability to late maturity group I to mid-maturity group II growing areas, achieved through a breeding process that involves crossing elite soybean varieties and introducing desired traits such as glyphosate tolerance and disease resistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If existing soybean cultivars are used for production, then current yield levels are maintained, but yield potential and stability are limited due to disease susceptibility and environmental adaptation issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield potentialVSAvoidyield stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple elite soybean varieties (P01 and P02) through controlled crossing to create a new variety (20883NNR2 Y) that integrates disease resistance, yield potential, and environmental adaptation traits from both parental lines, resolving the contradiction between yield potential and yield stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The new soybean variety represents a composite genetic material that combines desirable traits from multiple parental varieties, creating a genetically diverse population that exhibits both high yield potential and stable performance across different growing conditions and disease pressures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Productivity

If soybean varieties are bred for high yield potential, then productivity increases, but disease resistance and adaptability to various growing conditions may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield potentialVSAvoidadaptability to growing conditions
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program merges parental varieties with complementary traits - one parent contributing disease resistance and another contributing yield potential - to produce offspring that exhibit both high productivity and broad adaptability to different growing conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The new soybean variety exhibits local quality adaptations through its genetic composition, showing enhanced resistance to specific diseases (Phytophthora, Brown Stem Rot) while maintaining high yield potential in targeted growing regions (late maturity group I to mid-maturity group II areas)

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If conventional breeding methods are used, then existing varieties are maintained, but novel superior varieties with improved traits are not developed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidyield potential
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by conducting extensive preliminary crossing experiments and selection processes to identify and combine specific disease resistance genes with high-yield genetic backgrounds, ensuring that the final variety achieves both improved reliability and productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The breeding program incorporates feedback mechanisms through multi-environment field trials and performance evaluation, using data from disease resistance screenings and yield measurements to guide subsequent selection and crossing decisions, thereby simultaneously improving both disease resistance and yield potential

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
