Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean variety 5PFBL54, which is stable, high-yielding, and agronomically sound, along with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing the variety to produce plants with improved traits, facilitating the development of new soybean varieties and plant parts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the variety stability and agronomic soundness are improved, but the breeding time and resource requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidbreeding time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing variety 5PFBL54 across multiple environments and traits before using it as a parent in breeding programs. This advance characterization establishes predictable performance patterns that guide subsequent crossing decisions, reducing the time needed for variety development while maintaining stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the agronomic soundness is improved, but the resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic soundnessVSAvoidresource requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by systematically characterizing variety 5PFBL54 across multiple traits and environments, then using this information to guide breeding decisions. This feedback loop allows breeders to make informed choices about crossing combinations, reducing wasted resources on unlikely candidates while maintaining agronomic soundness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If soybean breeders aim to develop high-yielding varieties with maximal yield over different conditions, then the yield potential is improved, but the adaptability to various environments becomes more difficult to achieve

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield potentialVSAvoidenvironmental adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by evaluating variety 5PFBL54 across multiple environmental parameters (different locations, years, and conditions) to identify its performance characteristics. This multi-parameter characterization allows breeders to understand how the variety responds to environmental variations, enabling better selection for both yield potential and adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
