Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the variety stability and uniformity are improved, but the breeding time and resource consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidbreeding time
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs molecular marker technology to provide continuous feedback on the genetic composition of breeding lines. By monitoring specific DNA markers associated with desirable traits, breeders can track trait inheritance and variety uniformity throughout the breeding process, enabling informed selection decisions that accelerate breeding while maintaining stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical/phenotypic selection methods with molecular marker-based selection. Instead of relying on time-consuming field trials and phenotypic observations to assess variety uniformity, the invention uses DNA marker analysis to directly detect genetic composition, dramatically reducing breeding time while maintaining variety stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If multiple breeding cycles are performed to achieve high yield and disease resistance, then the agronomic characteristics are improved, but the complexity of the breeding program increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the breeding program into distinct molecular marker-assisted selection stages. By dividing the complex breeding process into manageable segments with specific marker targets for different traits (yield, disease resistance, maturity), the program becomes more systematic and less complex, while still achieving reliable disease resistance through targeted selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the selection parameter from phenotypic observation to genotypic analysis using molecular markers. This parameter change allows breeders to directly select for disease resistance genes and other desirable traits at the DNA level, simplifying the breeding program by eliminating the need for multiple complex field trials while maintaining reliable trait expression.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding methods are used to develop new varieties, then the genetic diversity is maintained, but the productivity and speed of variety development decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic diversityVSAvoidvariety development speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses molecular marker feedback to monitor and maintain genetic diversity throughout the breeding process. By tracking diversity markers alongside trait-specific markers, breeders can make informed decisions that preserve genetic variation while selectively incorporating desirable traits, thereby accelerating variety development without sacrificing adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal molecular marker platform that can simultaneously track multiple traits and genetic diversity markers in a single breeding program. This multi-functional approach allows breeders to maintain genetic diversity while developing new varieties at faster speeds, as the same marker analysis serves multiple purposes.

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