Solution Overview

Problem

The development of stable, high-yielding soybean varieties that are resistant to multiple diseases and environmental stresses is a time-consuming process requiring precise planning and resource efficiency, with existing varieties often failing to meet the demands of diverse growing conditions.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of the novel soybean variety 5PHLT90, which incorporates genetic traits for disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved agronomic characteristics through a combination of native and transgenic traits, along with methods for producing and characterizing this variety and its derivatives.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to develop stable, high-yielding varieties with disease resistance and environmental stress tolerance, then the desired traits are achieved, but the development process takes 6-12 years and requires significant resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistance and environmental stress toleranceVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, high yield potential) into a single soybean variety through controlled crossing programs. This merging of traits accelerates the breeding process by creating varieties that simultaneously possess multiple stress resistances rather than developing them separately over multiple breeding cycles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs preliminary selection of parental lines with specific desirable traits before initiating the crossing program. By pre-screening and selecting parents with known disease resistance and stress tolerance characteristics, the breeding process is accelerated because the desired traits are already present in the parental generation, reducing the time needed for trait development.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If soybean breeders select for multiple desirable traits including disease resistance and yield improvement, then the variety performance is enhanced, but the complexity of the breeding program increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by selecting specific parental lines that excel in particular traits (e.g., one parent for disease resistance, another for yield potential). This allows the breeding program to focus on combining complementary strengths rather than attempting to improve all traits simultaneously in a single line, thereby reducing program complexity while achieving high productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The breeding program is segmented into distinct phases: parental selection, controlled crossing, progeny evaluation, and variety registration. This segmentation allows each stage to be managed independently with specific objectives, reducing overall program complexity while systematically achieving multiple desirable traits including high seed yield.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If existing soybean varieties are used in diverse growing conditions, then they provide basic production, but they fail to maintain stable high yields across different environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance across different environmentsVSAvoidyield stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent develops soybean varieties with multi-functional adaptability by incorporating genetic traits that provide resistance to multiple diseases and environmental stresses simultaneously. This universality allows the variety to maintain reliable performance across diverse growing conditions, whether facing drought, heat, or various pathogens, without requiring separate varieties for different environments.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates composite genetic structures by combining multiple resistance genes and stress tolerance traits from different parental lines into a single variety. This composite approach ensures that the resulting soybean variety possesses a broad spectrum of adaptability, maintaining stable high yields whether grown in stress-prone or favorable environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
