Soybean Variety 5PTAN97 Breeding Program
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
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 soybean variety 5PTAN97, which includes methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic, mutant, or native traits, and characterizing plants to produce stable, high-yielding soybeans with improved agronomic characteristics, disease resistance, and environmental tolerance, along with the development of seeds, cells, plants, and plant parts derived from these methods.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional soybean variety development methods are used, then desirable traits can be combined in a single variety, but the process takes six to twelve years and is time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing a structured breeding program with defined objectives, selecting germplasm with desired traits before the actual crossing begins, and planning multiple generations of selection and evaluation in advance. This systematic preparation and phased approach enables the development of stable, high-yielding soybean varieties while reducing the overall development time from six to twelve years to a more efficient timeline.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional breeding programs are implemented, then multiple desirable traits can be combined, but resource efficiency is low and planning precision is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases: germplasm analysis and definition of problems, establishment of program goals, selection of germplasm with specific traits, crossing, multiple generations of selection and evaluation, and final variety release. This segmented approach allows for precise planning, efficient resource allocation to specific breeding objectives, and systematic combination of multiple desirable traits such as high yield, disease resistance, and environmental tolerance without wasting resources on unnecessary breeding steps.
