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 inefficient and directionally unstable.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean variety 5PNCZ13, which is developed through specific breeding methods and genetic marker profiles, allowing for the introduction of transgenic or mutant traits, and the production 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 develop new varieties, then desirable traits can be combined, but the process takes 6-12 years and is time-consuming

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by establishing a structured breeding program with predefined goals and selecting germplasm with desired traits before crossing. This upfront planning and preparation of parental lines with specific characteristics (disease resistance, yield potential, adaptability) accelerates the breeding process by avoiding later directional changes and reducing the overall 6-12 year timeline.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single variety, then agronomic performance is improved, but the breeding program requires precise planning and efficient resource use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic performanceVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases: germplasm selection, crossing, evaluation, and selection. Each phase focuses on specific traits (disease resistance, yield, adaptability) and uses standardized evaluation protocols. This segmented approach manages complexity by breaking down the multi-trait combination process into manageable, sequential steps with clear objectives and criteria.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If breeding programs maintain stability and direction, then resource efficiency is improved, but changes in direction may be necessary to achieve program goals

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource efficiencyVSAvoidprogram direction flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies feedback by implementing systematic evaluation and selection processes at each breeding stage. Performance data on disease resistance, yield, and adaptability are collected and analyzed to determine whether to continue with current crosses or adjust the breeding direction. This feedback mechanism maintains resource efficiency by avoiding futile breeding paths while allowing necessary directional changes based on empirical evidence from field trials and genetic analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
