Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean variety 5PMWG63, which is stable, high-yielding, and agronomically sound, along with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing plants to produce derived varieties with improved traits, facilitating the development of new soybean varieties with enhanced characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional soybean variety development methods are used, then multiple desirable traits can be combined in a single variety, but the process takes six to twelve years and is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination of desirable traitsVSAvoidbreeding process duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing soybean variety 5PMWG63 across multiple environments and traits before using it as a parent in breeding programs. This advance characterization allows breeders to make informed decisions earlier in the breeding process, reducing the time required to develop new varieties while maintaining the combination of desirable traits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to ensure stability and high yield, then agronomically sound varieties can be developed, but the process requires precise planning and efficient resource use with minimum changes in direction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield stabilityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies copying by providing detailed characterization data of variety 5PMWG63 that can be used to select and propagate similar high-performing varieties. This allows breeders to replicate successful trait combinations across multiple varieties, ensuring yield stability while reducing program complexity through standardized selection criteria.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Productivity

If new soybean varieties are developed with improved traits, then yield and adaptability can be enhanced, but the development process is resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidbreeding resource intensity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by conducting comprehensive preliminary evaluation of variety 5PMWG63 across multiple locations and years before releasing it for breeding use. This upfront investment in characterization reduces subsequent resource requirements by identifying high-performing varieties early, allowing breeders to focus resources on promising lines and avoid investing in less productive breeding directions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
