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

Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean variety 5PNPR10, which is a stable, high-yielding variety with improved traits such as resistance to diseases and environmental stresses, achieved through careful breeding and potential introgression of transgenic or mutant traits, allowing for efficient production and adaptation across different conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the variety achieves high yield and disease resistance, but the development process takes 6-12 years and requires extensive resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield stability and disease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing variety 5PNPR10 with multiple desirable traits (high yield, disease resistance, stress tolerance) before using it as a parent in breeding programs. This allows the desired traits to be inherited directly without requiring lengthy breeding cycles to develop them from scratch, thereby reducing the 6-12 year development timeline while maintaining reliability of yield and disease resistance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple breeding crosses are performed to achieve desired traits, then the variety gains improved characteristics, but the process becomes complex and prone to directional changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination capabilityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by developing variety 5PNPR10 as a multi-functional parent variety that simultaneously provides high yield, disease resistance, and stress tolerance traits. This single variety can be used across multiple breeding programs targeting different traits, reducing the need for separate complex breeding lines and simplifying overall breeding program complexity while maintaining adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If extensive breeding resources are allocated to develop new varieties, then the quality and stability of the variety improves, but the resource efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies copying by using variety 5PNPR10 as a standardized parent that can be repeatedly used across multiple breeding programs and generations. Instead of allocating extensive resources to develop multiple unique varieties, the stable and well-characterized 5PNPR10 serves as a reusable genetic template, reducing resource consumption while maintaining variety stability through consistent inheritance of desirable traits

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
