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 5PLAL92, 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 resulting varieties achieve 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-characterizing soybean accessions using molecular markers and phenotypic evaluation before breeding begins. This advance characterization allows breeders to select parents with desired traits more efficiently, reducing the time required for variety development while maintaining yield stability across environments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If traditional breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then stable high-yielding varieties are produced, but the process requires extensive resources and precise planning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidresource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback through systematic phenotypic evaluation and molecular marker analysis at multiple stages of the breeding process. This feedback mechanism allows for real-time assessment of trait inheritance and selection efficiency, enabling resource-optimized breeding decisions that maintain high seed yield while improving overall resource efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding approaches are used to introduce new traits, then the varieties achieve agronomic soundness, but the process is time-consuming and directionally unstable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic performanceVSAvoidbreeding program stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical phenotypic selection with molecular marker-based selection systems. This substitution provides more precise and stable tracking of desired traits through generations, reducing directional instability in breeding programs while maintaining agronomic performance across diverse environments

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