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 soybean variety 5PKJS34, which is stable and homozygous, combined with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing plants to produce varieties with improved agronomic characteristics, including resistance to diseases and environmental stresses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the variety can achieve high yield and disease resistance, but the development process takes 6-12 years and requires multiple directional changes

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing parent lines with specific desirable traits (high yield, disease resistance, stress tolerance) before crossing. The parent lines are rigorously evaluated for agronomic characteristics, maturity group, and genetic purity in advance, allowing the breeding program to start from optimized genetic material rather than beginning scratch each time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback through systematic evaluation and characterization of breeding lines at multiple stages. Performance data from field trials, maturity assessments, and agronomic measurements are collected and used to guide subsequent breeding decisions, allowing for course correction while maintaining overall program direction and reducing unnecessary directional changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple crossing and selection steps are performed to achieve trait combination, then desirable traits can be combined in a single variety, but the process becomes complex and requires precise planning with minimal directional changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination capabilityVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding process into distinct, manageable stages: parent line selection and characterization, controlled crossing, F1 generation evaluation, backcrossing sequences, and final variety development. Each stage has specific objectives and selection criteria, breaking down the complex task of trait combination into systematic steps that can be planned and executed with precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements universality through the development of parent lines that possess multiple desirable traits simultaneously (high yield, disease resistance, stress tolerance, adaptability). By creating multi-trait parent lines, the breeding program can combine fewer traits in fewer crossing steps, reducing overall process complexity while maintaining the ability to achieve comprehensive trait combinations

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