Solution Overview

Problem

Existing soybean cultivars lack improved traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and altered fatty acid profiles, which are essential for enhancing agricultural productivity and nutritional value.

Innovation Solution

Development of a new soybean cultivar (22460028) with genetic modifications for improved traits, including disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, and altered fatty acid composition, achieved through traditional breeding and genetic engineering techniques.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean cultivars, then genetic diversity and trait combination are improved, but the breeding process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoidbreeding process duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing parental germplasm for specific desirable traits (disease resistance, yield components, fatty acid profiles) before crossing. This advance preparation and selection of parents with known trait profiles accelerates the breeding process by eliminating the need for extensive screening of progeny, thereby reducing time loss while maintaining genetic diversity and trait combination effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If multiple generations of breeding are conducted to stabilize cultivar traits, then genetic stability is improved, but the development timeline is extended

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic stabilityVSAvoidcultivar development timeline
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation and characterization of parental lines for specific traits (oil content, protein content, disease resistance scores, yield components) before and after crossing. This feedback loop allows breeders to select parents with complementary traits and predict progeny performance, reducing the number of generations needed to stabilize desired traits while ensuring genetic stability through controlled selection based on measured characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Manufacturing precision

If selective breeding for specific traits is intensified, then trait improvement is accelerated, but genetic diversity may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait improvement precisionVSAvoidgenetic diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by focusing selective breeding on specific local traits (fatty acid profiles, disease resistance to particular pathogens, yield components) while maintaining overall genetic diversity through the use of diverse parental germplasm. Each parental line is selected for specific local qualities or traits, and the crossing program is designed to combine these localized improvements without sacrificing broad genetic diversity, thereby achieving precise trait improvement while preserving adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
