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 5PNTR51, which is a stable, high-yielding variety with improved agronomic characteristics, including resistance to diseases and environmental stresses, achieved through careful breeding and genetic manipulation, allowing for the introgression of transgenic, mutant, or native traits, and the production of derived varieties and plant parts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean varieties, then desirable traits can be combined, but the process takes six to twelve years and is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination 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 in advance that possesses desired traits. This planning phase occurs before actual crossing, allowing the breeding process to proceed more efficiently through subsequent generations with clear direction, thereby reducing overall development time while maintaining trait combination reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

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

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety developmentVSAvoidbreeding efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms by continuously evaluating breeding progress against established program goals and objectives. This allows for monitoring and adjustment of the breeding process, ensuring resources are allocated efficiently and the program remains on track to deliver varieties with desired traits, thereby improving overall breeding productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used, then varieties can be developed with improved traits, but the process is prone to directional changes and requires precise planning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait improvementVSAvoidbreeding program direction
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by establishing a structured breeding program with predefined objectives and selecting germplasm in advance that possesses desired traits. This planning phase occurs before actual crossing, allowing the breeding process to proceed more efficiently through subsequent generations with clear direction, thereby reducing overall development time while maintaining trait combination reliability.
