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 5PLWT92, which combines improved traits like resistance to aerial web blight, aphids, and other diseases, along with enhanced agronomic characteristics, through methods involving crossing, introgression of transgenic or mutant traits, and characterization techniques to produce stable and high-yielding soybean plants.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering 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

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing variety 5PLWT92 with multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, yield stability, agronomic characteristics) before initiating the breeding program. This allows the breeding process to start with a pre-optimized parent variety, reducing the time required for trait combination and validation in subsequent generations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then the final variety achieves high yield and resistance, but the process requires extensive resources and precise planning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination effectivenessVSAvoidresource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through systematic characterization and evaluation of variety 5PLWT92 across multiple traits and environments. This feedback loop allows breeders to monitor progress, verify trait inheritance, and make data-driven decisions, reducing resource waste from unsuccessful breeding attempts and improving overall program efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional breeding methods are used, then the variety achieves maximal yield over different conditions, but the process is time-consuming and requires minimal changes in direction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield stability across environmentsVSAvoidbreeding program efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by utilizing variety 5PLWT92's documented performance across multiple environmental conditions and trait parameters. This established multi-trait, multi-environment data allows breeders to select and combine the most favorable parameter combinations, accelerating the development of adaptable varieties without extensive additional field testing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
