Soybean Variety 5PACC71 Trait Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The development of new soybean varieties is a time-consuming process that requires precise planning and efficient resource use, aiming to combine desirable traits such as high yield, disease resistance, and environmental tolerance, while existing methods are inefficient and directionally unstable, taking six to twelve years from the first cross to delivering finished seed to farmers.
Innovation Solution
The introduction of the novel soybean variety 5PACC71, which combines improved traits like disease resistance, drought tolerance, and high yield, along with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing the variety to produce stable and agronomically sound soybean plants.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the variety achieves stability and high yield, but the development process takes six to twelve years and requires extensive resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing the soybean variety 5PACC71 with multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, high yield) before breeding operations. This allows breeders to start with a pre-optimized parent that already possesses the target traits, eliminating the need for lengthy traditional breeding to combine these traits and significantly reducing development time while maintaining variety stability
2Productivity
If traditional breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then the variety achieves high yield and stability, but the process requires extensive resources and precise planning
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by providing a complete, self-contained soybean variety 5PACC71 that already integrates multiple desirable traits (high yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance). Breeders can directly use this pre-characterized variety without needing to invest extensive resources in multi-year breeding programs to combine these traits, making the breeding process more resource-efficient while maintaining high productivity
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new varieties, then the process can achieve trait combination, but the direction is unstable and requires minimal changes in direction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by providing a soybean variety 5PACC71 with specifically characterized and fixed traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, high yield) that serve as a stable genetic baseline. This allows breeders to make controlled, deliberate modifications to specific parameters (such as introducing single transgenic traits) without causing directional instability, as the core variety composition remains stable and well-defined
