Soybean Variety 5PTNB67 Breeding Parent
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 adaptability to various conditions, while existing methods are inefficient and directionally unstable, taking six to twelve years from the first cross to delivering finished seed.
Innovation Solution
The introduction of the novel soybean variety 5PTNB67, which can be crossed with other soybean plants to introduce transgenic, mutant, or native traits, and methods for producing and characterizing derived varieties, enabling the development of stable, high-yielding soybeans with improved agronomic characteristics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
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 requires extensive resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing variety 5PTNB67 with multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, yield potential, abiotic stress tolerance) before using it as a parent in breeding programs. This allows the preliminary combination of traits to be established in advance, reducing the time required for subsequent breeding steps compared to traditional methods where traits are combined step-by-step during the breeding process.
2Reliability
If traditional soybean variety development methods are used, then stable high-yielding varieties can be developed, but the process is time-consuming and requires precise planning with minimum changes in direction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies copying by using variety 5PTNB67 as a standardized, pre-characterized parent that can be repeatedly crossed with different other varieties to produce multiple new varieties. This copying approach allows the stable, high-yielding genetic foundation of 5PTNB67 to be replicated across numerous derivative varieties, significantly reducing the time required to develop multiple reliable varieties compared to traditional methods where each variety must be developed independently from scratch.
3Productivity
If traditional breeding methods are used, then new varieties can be developed with improved traits, but the process requires extensive resources and is inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating variety 5PTNB67 as a multi-functional parent variety that contributes multiple desirable traits simultaneously (disease resistance, yield potential, abiotic stress tolerance, adaptability). This single variety serves multiple breeding purposes and can be used across different breeding programs, reducing the need for multiple specialized parent varieties and thereby decreasing overall resource consumption and improving breeding productivity.
