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 5PCUK80, which is stable, high-yielding, and agronomically sound, along with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing the variety to produce derived soybean plants and parts, facilitating the development of new soybean varieties with improved traits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional soybean variety development methods are used, then desirable traits can be combined in a single variety, but the process takes 6-12 years and requires significant resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination of desirable traitsVSAvoidbreeding process duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by using soybean variety 5PCUK80 as a pre-characterized, stable foundation that has already been developed with desirable traits. Breeders can directly cross this variety with others to introduce new traits, eliminating the need to start breeding from scratch and significantly reducing the 6-12 year development timeline while maintaining trait combination effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If traditional soybean variety development methods are used, then new varieties can be developed, but resource requirements are high and directional changes are prone

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenew variety developmentVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies copying by utilizing soybean variety 5PCUK80 as a proven, stable genetic template that can be repeatedly crossed with different varieties to introduce various traits. This approach allows breeders to copy the successful trait combination framework of 5PCUK80 across multiple new variety developments, reducing resource consumption and minimizing directional changes while maintaining high productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
