Solution Overview

Problem

The development of stable, high-yielding soybean varieties that are agronomically sound and possess desirable traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved fatty acid profiles is a time-consuming process requiring precise planning and resource efficiency, with existing methods taking six to twelve years from cross to delivery.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of the novel soybean variety 5PSUW28, which combines desirable traits like resistance to diseases, insects, and tolerance to drought and heat, along with improved agronomic characteristics, through methods of crossing, introgression of transgenic or mutant traits, and characterization.

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 agronomic soundness, but the development time becomes excessively long (6-12 years)

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing parent lines with specific desirable traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, heat tolerance, yield potential) before crossing. This advance preparation of genetically superior parents with known trait profiles accelerates the breeding process while ensuring the resulting variety achieves stability and agronomic soundness more quickly than traditional methods.

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single variety, then the variety achieves higher yield and adaptability, but the breeding process becomes more complex and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding process into distinct phases: selecting parent lines with specific individual traits, crossing them to combine traits, and systematically evaluating progeny for each trait. This segmented approach to multi-trait breeding allows complex trait combinations to be achieved through manageable, sequential steps rather than attempting to combine all traits simultaneously, reducing overall process complexity.
