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 adaptability to various conditions, but existing methods are slow and prone to directional changes.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean variety 5PCQT33, which is self-pollinated to ensure homozygosity and phenotypic stability, along with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing the variety to produce stable, high-yielding soybeans with improved agronomic characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean variety development methods are used, then desirable traits can be combined in a variety, but the process takes six to twelve years and requires extensive resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of desirable traitsVSAvoidbreeding process duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by using self-pollination to establish homozygosity and phenotypic stability in the parental lines before crossing. This preliminary genetic stabilization reduces the number of generations needed in subsequent breeding steps, thereby shortening the overall breeding timeline while maintaining trait reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation and selection of progeny for desirable traits. By continuously assessing and selecting plants that exhibit the target characteristics, the breeding process accelerates while ensuring the combined traits are reliably transmitted to future generations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then high yield and resistance can be achieved, but the process is prone to directional changes and requires precise planning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different conditionsVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases: self-pollination for homozygosity establishment, controlled crossing for trait combination, and progeny evaluation for selection. This segmented approach simplifies the overall complexity by making each step manageable and reducing the risk of directional changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by systematically varying breeding parameters such as pollination control, selection criteria, and evaluation conditions. These controlled parameter adjustments allow the breeding program to adapt to different conditions while maintaining a structured approach that reduces complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
