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 the novel soybean variety 5PSLZ41, which combines improved traits like resistance to aerial web blight, aphids, and other diseases, along with enhanced agronomic characteristics, through methods involving crossing, introgression of transgenic or mutant traits, and characterization, facilitating the production of stable and high-yielding soybean plants.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the variety achieves stability and high yield, but the development process takes six to twelve years and requires extensive resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-screening and selecting parent lines with desired traits (disease resistance, yield potential, agronomic characteristics) before crossing. This upfront selection and characterization of parental germplasm reduces the time required for subsequent breeding cycles while ensuring the combined variety achieves stability and high yield.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If traditional breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then the final variety achieves high yield and stability, but the process requires extensive resources and precise planning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidresource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs copying by using molecular markers to identify and track specific trait alleles through generations without requiring extensive phenotypic testing. This marker-assisted selection allows breeders to copy desirable traits from parent lines to progeny efficiently, reducing resource consumption while maintaining high yield and stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional breeding methods are used to introduce new traits, then the variety achieves improved characteristics, but the process is directionally unstable and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoidbreeding direction stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback through molecular marker analysis at multiple breeding stages to monitor the inheritance and combination of desired traits. This continuous genetic monitoring provides feedback on breeding progress, allowing precise adjustment of selection decisions to maintain directional stability while achieving the desired adaptability and trait combinations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
