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, while existing methods are slow and prone to directional changes.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean variety 5PLTA07, which is developed through specific breeding methods and genetic marker profiles, allowing for the introduction of new traits and loci through backcrossing and transformation, enabling the creation of stable, high-yielding soybeans with improved agronomic characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the resulting varieties have improved agronomic characteristics, but the breeding process takes six to twelve years and requires extensive resources

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by using molecular markers to identify and select plants with desired traits at early stages of breeding, rather than waiting for full maturation and trait expression. This allows breeders to make informed selection decisions earlier in the process, significantly reducing the time required to develop new varieties while maintaining trait stability through genetically marked lines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean varieties, then the varieties achieve desired trait combinations, but the process requires precise planning and is prone to directional changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination stabilityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms by using molecular marker data to continuously monitor and guide breeding decisions. The marker information provides real-time feedback on the presence and combination of desired traits, allowing breeders to adjust selection strategies and maintain precise control over trait combinations, thereby reducing program complexity while ensuring reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If conventional breeding approaches are used to improve soybean yield and adaptability, then the varieties show improved performance, but the resource intensity and time investment are excessive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesoybean yieldVSAvoidvarietal development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical phenotypic selection methods with molecular marker-based genotypic selection. Instead of visually assessing and selecting plants based on physical traits that require full growth and environmental expression, the system uses DNA markers to directly identify plants with desired genetic combinations, dramatically accelerating the breeding process while maintaining or improving yield and adaptability outcomes.

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