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 take around six to twelve years from the first cross to delivering finished seed to farmers.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of the novel soybean variety 5PKDS07, 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 disease resistance and yield improvement can be achieved, but the development time becomes excessively long (6-12 years)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing parent lines with desirable traits (disease resistance, yield potential) before crossing. Molecular marker analysis is performed in advance on parent plants to identify those carrying desired resistance genes, allowing breeders to plan crosses more efficiently and reduce the time required for trait combination and verification in subsequent generations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If multiple crossing and selection steps are performed to achieve high yield and desirable traits, then variety quality improves, but the breeding process complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback through molecular marker-assisted selection, where DNA markers linked to desirable traits (disease resistance genes, yield-related characteristics) are used to track the presence of these traits through generations. This molecular feedback allows breeders to make informed selection decisions earlier in the breeding process, reducing the number of phenotypic evaluation cycles needed and simplifying the overall breeding workflow while maintaining high yield and quality.
