Solution Overview

Problem

Current soybean breeding methods face challenges in developing stable, high-yielding varieties with desirable traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved nutritional quality, as they rely on conventional breeding techniques that are time-consuming and unpredictable, and often result in varieties that are difficult to replicate.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety 5PCDJ10, which incorporates specific genetic traits through crossing and backcrossing techniques, including the use of transgenic genes for herbicide resistance and disease resistance, and employs molecular marker-assisted selection to enhance breeding efficiency and consistency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional breeding techniques are used, then variety development follows traditional methods, but the process is time-consuming and unpredictable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictability of variety developmentVSAvoidbreeding time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical breeding methods with molecular marker-assisted selection technology. By using DNA markers to identify and select desirable traits at the molecular level, the breeding process becomes more predictable and accelerates variety development, directly resolving the contradiction between reliability and time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces molecular markers as an intermediary tool between parental selection and trait expression. These markers serve as indicators that allow breeders to predict and select for desirable traits (such as disease resistance and yield) before phenotypic expression occurs, making the breeding process both faster and more reliable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding techniques are used, then traditional variety development proceeds, but desirable traits such as disease resistance and improved nutritional quality are difficult to combine

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination of desirable traitsVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through molecular marker analysis at multiple breeding stages. By continuously monitoring marker presence and genotypic composition, breeders can make informed decisions about which plants to advance, enabling precise combination of multiple desirable traits while managing breeding process complexity through data-driven selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the breeding process into distinct phases with specific marker-assisted selection objectives. By dividing trait combination into manageable steps (such as first combining disease resistance, then adding nutritional quality traits), the complex task of integrating multiple desirable traits becomes more controllable and achievable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Stability of the object's composition

If conventional breeding techniques are used, then variety development follows traditional paths, but replication of superior varieties is difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety replicabilityVSAvoidvariety consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses molecular markers as genetic copies or fingerprints that can identify and verify the presence of specific parental contributions in progeny. By tracking marker inheritance patterns, breeders can precisely replicate superior variety compositions and ensure consistency across different breeding cycles and locations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
