Solution Overview

Problem

The development of stable, high-yielding soybean varieties that are agronomically sound and resistant to various diseases and environmental stresses is a time-consuming process requiring precise planning and resource efficiency, with existing technologies failing to efficiently combine desirable traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved agronomic characteristics.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of the novel soybean variety 5PTNN70, which incorporates genetic traits for resistance to multiple diseases and environmental stresses, along with improved agronomic characteristics, through a combination of breeding and potentially transgenic methods, allowing for the development of soybean plants and plant parts with enhanced performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then disease resistance and environmental stress tolerance are improved, but the breeding time and resource requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing parental lines with specific desirable traits (disease resistance, stress tolerance, yield potential) before initiating the breeding program. This advance preparation of germplasm with known trait profiles accelerates the breeding process by eliminating the need for extensive trait screening in later generations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation and selection of progeny based on multiple trait performance metrics. By continuously assessing disease resistance, stress tolerance, and yield characteristics across generations and providing feedback to guide further crossing decisions, the breeding program efficiently combines multiple desirable traits without excessive time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If multiple traits are combined in a single variety, then agronomic performance and yield stability are improved, but the complexity of the breeding program increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield stabilityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the multi-trait breeding program into distinct phases: (1) selection of parental lines with specific trait combinations, (2) initial crossing to combine traits, (3) systematic evaluation of progeny for each trait, and (4) selection of superior lines for further development. This segmented approach manages complexity by handling multiple traits in an organized sequence rather than simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs universality by developing a multi-purpose breeding program that simultaneously evaluates multiple traits (disease resistance, stress tolerance, yield) using a unified selection framework. The same breeding population is assessed for all traits, and superior lines are selected based on overall performance across multiple functions, thereby combining multiple desirable characteristics without proportionally increasing program complexity.

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

3Reliability

If extensive screening and evaluation are conducted to ensure trait stability, then variety reliability is improved, but resource efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait stabilityVSAvoidresource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by conducting preliminary screening of parental lines and early-generation progeny for key traits using efficient evaluation methods. By performing initial assessments of disease resistance and stress tolerance before advancing lines to later generations, the program ensures trait stability is established early, reducing the need for extensive re-screening later and improving overall resource efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
