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.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean variety 5PJTF23, which is self-pollinated to ensure homozygosity and phenotypic stability, along with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing the variety to produce stable, high-yielding soybeans with improved agronomic characteristics.

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 disease resistance, but the development process takes six to twelve years and requires extensive resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield stability and disease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary action by using molecular markers to identify and select plants with desired traits early in the breeding process, rather than waiting for traditional phenotypic expression. This allows breeders to screen for disease resistance, yield potential, and other desirable characteristics at the seedling stage, dramatically reducing the time required to develop new varieties while maintaining trait reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

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 with minimal room for directional changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic performanceVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through molecular marker-assisted selection, where genetic information is continuously monitored and used to guide breeding decisions. This feedback system allows breeders to track the accumulation of desirable traits across generations, make informed decisions about which plants to advance, and adjust breeding strategies in real-time, reducing program complexity while maintaining agronomic performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical phenotypic evaluation methods with molecular-based genetic analysis. Instead of visually assessing plant traits that require growing plants to maturity, the system uses DNA markers to directly detect the presence of desired genetic traits, substituting a complex mechanical growth and evaluation system with a simpler molecular detection system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
