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 slow and prone to directional changes.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean variety 5PPDG68, which is stable and homozygous, along with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing the variety to produce plants with improved agronomic characteristics, such as resistance to diseases and environmental stresses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

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

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield and disease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing variety 5PPDG68 with multiple desirable traits (high yield, disease resistance, stress tolerance) before using it as a parent in breeding programs. This allows the favorable traits to be already present in the parent variety, eliminating the need for lengthy breeding processes to combine these traits and significantly reducing development time while maintaining trait reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop stable varieties, then the varieties can maintain consistency across environments, but the process requires precise planning and is prone to directional changes

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies copying by providing variety 5PPDG68 as a standardized parent variety that can be repeatedly used across multiple breeding programs. The variety's characterized traits and stable genetics serve as a reliable template that can be copied and propagated through controlled crossings, ensuring consistency and reducing the complexity of planning while maintaining variety stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If existing breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then the final variety can achieve maximal yield over different conditions, but the resource requirements and time investment are excessive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different conditionsVSAvoidbreeding efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing variety 5PPDG68 with adaptability to different environmental conditions and stress factors before deployment. This preliminary characterization ensures the variety possesses the necessary adaptability traits, allowing breeders to efficiently develop adapted varieties without excessive resource investment or time delays in the breeding process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
