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 environmental tolerance, while existing methods are inefficient and directionally unstable, taking six to twelve years from the first cross to delivering finished seed to farmers.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of the novel soybean variety 5PJNS12, which includes methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic, mutant, or native traits, and characterizing soybean plants to produce stable, high-yielding varieties with improved agronomic characteristics, disease resistance, and environmental tolerance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the variety achieves high yield and stability across environments, but the development process takes six to twelve years and requires extensive resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield stabilityVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing a diverse panel of soybean lines with known trait profiles before beginning the breeding process. This allows breeders to select parent lines with desired characteristics in advance, reducing the time needed for trait combination and evaluation during the breeding process itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation and characterization of breeding lines at multiple stages. By continuously assessing yield performance, disease resistance, and other traits across different environments, breeders can make informed decisions about which lines to advance, accelerating the development process while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then the final variety achieves improved agronomic characteristics, but the process requires extensive resources and precise planning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic characteristicsVSAvoidresource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding process into distinct stages with specific objectives: initial line development, trait combination, evaluation, and variety registration. This structured approach allows resources to be allocated efficiently to each stage, reducing overall resource consumption while achieving varieties with improved agronomic characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal breeding platform that can be used to develop varieties with different trait combinations by selecting from a pre-established panel of lines. This multi-functional approach allows the same infrastructure and methodology to produce varieties tailored to different environmental conditions and market requirements, improving resource efficiency.

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

3Stability of the object's composition

If traditional breeding processes are followed from first cross to finished seed delivery, then the variety achieves stable inheritance of traits, but the process is time-consuming and directionally unstable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait inheritanceVSAvoidbreeding efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses feedback through systematic performance evaluation and trait characterization at each breeding stage. By monitoring which lines inherit desired traits successfully, breeders can adjust selection criteria and breeding strategies to maintain trait stability while accelerating the breeding process and improving directional stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying breeding parameters such as selection intensity, evaluation frequency, and crossing strategies based on performance data. These adjustments allow the breeding process to maintain trait inheritance stability while improving productivity and reducing the time from first cross to finished seed delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
