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 5PLAY23, which is stable and high-yielding, with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing the variety to produce seeds, cells, plants, and plant parts that exhibit improved agronomic characteristics and disease resistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean variety development methods are used, then breeders can combine desirable traits such as high yield and disease resistance, but the process takes six to twelve years and is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination of desirable traitsVSAvoidbreeding process duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing soybean variety 5PLAY23 across multiple environments and traits before release. Extensive field trials and data collection are conducted in advance to establish performance benchmarks, allowing breeders to make informed decisions earlier and reduce the overall breeding cycle time while maintaining trait combination reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If breeders aim for maximal yield over different conditions and environments, then crop performance is improved, but the development process requires precise planning and efficient resource use with minimum changes in direction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield stability across environmentsVSAvoidbreeding program management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically evaluating variety 5PLAY23 across multiple environmental parameters and genetic backgrounds. The variety has been tested under varying conditions to establish its performance parameters, allowing breeders to predict its behavior in different environments without requiring complex management changes, thus achieving yield stability with manageable program complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Object-affected harmful factors

If new soybean varieties are developed to resist diseases and insects, then crop resistance is improved, but the breeding process becomes more complex and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease and insect resistanceVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by utilizing the natural resistance traits already present in soybean variety 5PLAY23 against diseases such as aerial web blight and pests like aphids. The variety's inherent resistance characteristics are leveraged without requiring additional complex breeding interventions, allowing disease and insect resistance to be achieved while minimizing breeding process complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
