Soybean Variety 5PLEC93 Breeding Stability and Yield
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
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 5PLEC93, 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
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the variety achieves stability and high yield, but the development process takes six to twelve years and requires extensive resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by establishing a comprehensive breeding program framework before actual crossing begins. This includes pre-defining breeding objectives, selecting appropriate germplasm with desired traits, and planning the crossing strategy in advance. By preparing everything beforehand, the patent reduces the overall development time while maintaining variety stability, directly addressing the contradiction between thorough breeding and time efficiency
2Reliability
If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then the variety achieves high yield and resistance, but the process requires extensive resources and is inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms by systematically evaluating breeding progress against predefined objectives. This includes monitoring trait expression in crossing progeny, assessing disease resistance levels, and adjusting the breeding strategy based on observed results. The feedback loop ensures that desirable traits like disease resistance are reliably incorporated while improving overall breeding efficiency by avoiding unnecessary steps
3Reliability
If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to develop new varieties, then the variety achieves agronomic soundness, but the process is directionally unstable and requires minimal changes in direction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by breaking down the complex breeding process into distinct, manageable phases: germplasm selection, crossing operations, progeny evaluation, and variety registration. Each phase has specific objectives and criteria, making the overall complex process more controllable and directionally stable. This segmentation maintains agronomic soundness while reducing program complexity through structured organization
