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 is prone to directional changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of variety traitsVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing stable base varieties (like 5PRQV49) that already possess desirable traits such as high yield and disease resistance. These pre-developed varieties serve as starting materials for further breeding, eliminating the need to develop these fundamental traits from scratch in each new variety, thus significantly reducing the 6-12 year development timeline while maintaining trait stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single variety, then the variety achieves high yield and adaptability, but the breeding process becomes more complex and requires precise planning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different conditionsVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies merging by combining multiple desirable traits (high yield, disease resistance, adaptability) into unified stable base varieties through systematic breeding programs. Once these traits are merged and stabilized in base varieties like 5PRQV49, they can be reliably transmitted to subsequent varieties, reducing the complexity of combining traits in future breeding efforts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies universality by developing base varieties that serve multiple functions: they provide high yield, disease resistance, and adaptability simultaneously. These multi-functional base varieties can be used as parental materials for various breeding programs targeting different specific traits, reducing the need to develop separate varieties for each trait combination and simplifying overall breeding program complexity.

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