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 adaptability to various conditions, but existing methods are slow and prone to directional changes.
Innovation Solution
The introduction of soybean variety 5PLMK17, which is stable, high-yielding, and agronomically sound, along with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing the variety to produce derived soybean plants and parts, facilitating the development of new varieties with improved traits.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the variety can achieve high yield and disease resistance, but the development process takes 6-12 years and requires extensive resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing variety 5PLMK17 with multiple desirable traits (high yield, disease resistance, adaptability) before using it as a parent in breeding programs. This pre-prepared genetic foundation eliminates the need for time-consuming trait combination experiments, directly reducing the 6-12 year development timeline while maintaining reliability of desired traits
2Reliability
If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new varieties, then trait combination can be achieved, but the process is prone to directional changes and requires precise planning with minimum changes in direction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies copying by using variety 5PLMK17 as a standardized, proven genetic template that can be repeatedly crossed with different partners to produce predictable offspring. This standardized parent line acts as a reliable copy of desired traits, reducing breeding program complexity and minimizing directional changes compared to developing new trait combinations from scratch each time
