Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used, then variety development can be achieved, but the process is time-consuming and requires extensive resources over 6-12 years

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreeding speedVSAvoidvariety development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing a standardized set of breeding objectives and criteria before the breeding process begins. The breeding program defines specific goals for yield, disease resistance, and adaptability in advance, allowing for more efficient selection and reducing the overall time required for variety development.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation of breeding lines against predefined criteria. Performance data from field trials is analyzed and fed back into the breeding program to adjust selection pressures and breeding directions, optimizing the breeding process and reducing unnecessary time expenditure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single variety, then agronomic performance improves, but the complexity of breeding and directional changes increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic stabilityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the breeding program into distinct modules, each focusing on specific traits such as yield, disease resistance, and environmental adaptability. This segmentation allows for independent management and optimization of each trait component, reducing the overall complexity of combining multiple desirable traits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent develops a universal breeding framework that can be applied across different soybean varieties and environments. The standardized breeding objectives and evaluation criteria serve multiple purposes, enabling the same program structure to address various agronomic requirements without increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If breeding programs aim for high yield and disease resistance, then variety performance improves, but resource consumption and planning requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidbreeding resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes resource allocation by dynamically adjusting breeding parameters such as the number of breeding lines, field trial sizes, and selection intensities based on current program needs and available resources. This parameter optimization ensures high yield and disease resistance goals are met while minimizing resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
