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, while existing methods are slow and prone to directional changes.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of the novel soybean variety 5PFNJ08, which is developed through specific breeding methods and genetic marker profiles, allowing for the introduction of new traits and loci, enabling improved yield, disease resistance, and adaptability, and can be used to produce stable and high-yielding soybean plants.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used, then desirable traits can be combined in a variety, but the process takes six to twelve years and requires precise planning with minimal directional changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of varietyVSAvoidbreeding cycle time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by developing and maintaining an extensive germplasm collection with pre-characterized traits before breeding begins. This allows breeders to select from pre-screened materials with known characteristics, eliminating the need for time-consuming field trials of uncharacterized materials and accelerating the breeding process while maintaining variety stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback through systematic performance evaluation and data collection on germplasm materials across multiple environments and generations. This feedback mechanism allows for selection of superior genotypes based on measured performance data, enabling more rapid and accurate breeding decisions compared to traditional trial-and-error approaches

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If breeders aim to combine multiple desirable traits (yield, disease resistance, adaptability), then variety quality improves, but the complexity and time required increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding process into distinct phases: germplasm collection and characterization, preliminary evaluation, advanced breeding, and variety development. Each phase focuses on specific traits and uses appropriate selection methods, allowing complex multi-trait varieties to be developed through manageable sequential steps rather than attempting to address all traits simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements universality through the development of a comprehensive germplasm collection that serves multiple functions: it provides source material for new varieties, serves as parent material for crossing programs, acts as a reference for trait identification, and enables evaluation of multiple traits across different environments. This multi-functional resource reduces overall breeding program complexity by consolidating activities

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