Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean variety development processes are used, then desirable traits such as disease resistance and yield can be combined, but the process takes six to twelve years and requires significant resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding process duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing soybean lines with desirable traits (disease resistance, yield stability) before crossing. The parent lines are selected and characterized in advance using molecular markers and phenotypic evaluation, allowing the breeding process to start with pre-qualified material rather than discovering traits during the breeding process, thus reducing overall development time while maintaining trait reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If extensive breeding trials and evaluations are conducted to ensure yield stability across environments, then reliable high-yielding varieties can be developed, but the process becomes more time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the breeding program into distinct phases: parent line selection, controlled crossing, F1 generation evaluation, and multi-environment testing. Each phase has specific evaluation criteria and molecular marker assessments. This segmentation allows systematic progression through the breeding process, ensuring yield stability is evaluated at appropriate stages without requiring all resources simultaneously, thus managing complexity while maintaining productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through molecular marker analysis and phenotypic evaluation at multiple stages. Performance data from preliminary trials feeds back into selection decisions for subsequent crossing and testing phases. This iterative feedback process ensures that only lines demonstrating yield stability and desirable traits progress to the next stage, efficiently allocating resources while ensuring high-yielding variety development

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
