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 (24460733) with specific genetic modifications and introgression of transgenic traits, including herbicide tolerance and disease resistance, through methods like mutagenesis and transformation, combined with traditional breeding techniques to enhance desirable characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breeding techniques are used to develop new soybean cultivars, then genetic diversity is maintained, but the development process takes 6-12 years and requires multiple crossing generations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic stabilityVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing parental lines for specific traits (fatty acid composition, disease resistance, yield) before crossing. This allows breeders to select parents with desired characteristics in advance, reducing the time needed for multiple generations of selection and evaluation in the 6-12 year breeding process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple crossing generations are performed to combine desirable traits, then trait combination is achieved, but resource consumption increases and direction changes may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary evaluation of parental lines for multiple desirable traits (yield, disease resistance, fatty acid profile) before initiating crosses. This pre-screening ensures that only parents with complementary desirable traits are selected, reducing the need for additional crossing generations and minimizing resource consumption during the breeding process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If existing soybean cultivars are used, then current agricultural practices are maintained, but seed yield, disease resistance, and nutritional value remain limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoiddisease resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by selecting parental lines with specific localized desirable traits - one parent contributes superior yield characteristics while the other contributes enhanced disease resistance and altered fatty acid composition. The crossing process combines these locally optimized traits into a single cultivar that exhibits improved productivity and reliability simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
