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 5PSHD34, which is stable, high-yielding, and agronomically sound, along with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing the variety to produce derived soybean plants and parts, facilitating the development of new varieties with improved traits.

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 stabilityVSAvoidbreeding process time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing variety 5PSHD34 across multiple environments and traits before using it as a parent in breeding programs. This advance characterization establishes a reliable genetic base that accelerates subsequent variety development, reducing the 6-12 year timeline by starting with a pre-validated foundation rather than beginning breed selection from scratch each time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If breeders select for multiple desirable traits simultaneously, then the final variety achieves high agronomic performance, but the process becomes complex and prone to directional changes

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by developing variety 5PSHD34 with multi-trait excellence (yield, disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, oil composition) that can serve multiple breeding objectives simultaneously. This universal parent variety reduces program complexity by eliminating the need for separate breeding programs for different traits, as one variety can contribute to multiple improvement goals across diverse environments

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

3Productivity

If breeders aim for maximal yield over different conditions and environments, then the variety achieves high productivity, but maintaining stability across all conditions becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidphenotypic stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing multiple genetic and phenotypic parameters simultaneously in variety 5PSHD34, including yield components, disease resistance levels, abiotic stress tolerance thresholds, and oil composition ratios. This multi-parameter optimization through systematic breeding and selection enables the variety to maintain stable high productivity across varying environmental conditions by adjusting its performance parameters rather than relying on a single fixed trait

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
