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 soybean variety 5PNCR28, which is self-pollinated to ensure homozygosity and phenotypic stability, along with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing the variety to produce stable, high-yielding soybeans with improved agronomic characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean variety development methods are used, then desirable traits such as yield and disease resistance can be combined, but the process takes six to twelve years and is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of desirable traitsVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by establishing a structured breeding program with predefined objectives and selecting germplasm with desired traits before the breeding process begins. This planning phase prepares the foundation for efficient trait combination and reduces delays during implementation, thereby shortening the overall development time while maintaining trait stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through continuous evaluation and selection processes during the breeding program. By monitoring trait expression and performance across generations, breeders can make informed decisions to maintain desirable traits, ensuring stability while optimizing the breeding timeline.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If traditional breeding processes are used, then new varieties can be developed, but the process requires extensive resources and is inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic soundnessVSAvoidbreeding efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by conducting thorough analysis and definition of breeding objectives before initiating the breeding process. This includes identifying specific agronomic traits to improve and selecting appropriate germplasm sources, which streamlines subsequent breeding operations and enhances overall efficiency while ensuring agronomic soundness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter changes by modifying breeding program parameters such as selection criteria, crossing strategies, and evaluation metrics to optimize both agronomic outcomes and breeding efficiency. This allows for systematic improvement of productivity while maintaining reliability of desired traits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Stability of the object's composition

If breeding programs aim for maximal yield over different conditions, then variety stability is improved, but the complexity of testing and validation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidtesting complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by evaluating varieties under specific local conditions and environments rather than requiring uniform performance across all possible conditions. This approach allows for targeted testing that validates stability in relevant agricultural settings without the need for exhaustive testing across every environmental parameter, thereby reducing testing complexity while maintaining variety stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
