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 5PKLQ07, which is a stable, high-yielding variety with improved traits such as resistance to diseases and environmental stresses, achieved through breeding and genetic manipulation, including methods like backcrossing and transgenic trait introgression, to create plants with enhanced agronomic characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean varieties, then desirable traits can be combined, but the process takes 6-12 years and requires frequent directional changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield stabilityVSAvoidbreeding process 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. This advance preparation of parental material with known phenotypic and genotypic characteristics accelerates the breeding process while ensuring reliable trait combination in the offspring, reducing the overall development time from 6-12 years.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If multiple crosses and selections are performed to achieve high yield and disease resistance, then trait combination improves, but resource consumption and process complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding process into distinct stages: parent line selection, controlled crossing, progeny evaluation, and variety registration. Each stage focuses on specific traits (yield, disease resistance, stress tolerance) and uses standardized evaluation protocols. This segmented approach systematically combines desirable traits while reducing overall process complexity through structured methodology.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If extensive field testing is conducted to ensure adaptability across environments, then variety stability improves, but time and resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenvironmental adaptabilityVSAvoidbreeding efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by conducting preliminary field testing of parent lines and early-generation progeny in multiple environments before final variety registration. This preliminary environmental evaluation identifies varieties with demonstrated adaptability, allowing focused resources on the most promising candidates and improving overall breeding efficiency while ensuring environmental versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
