Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to develop new varieties with multiple desirable traits, then disease resistance and environmental stress tolerance are improved, but the development time increases significantly (six to twelve years)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoiddevelopment 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, stress tolerance) before initiating the breeding program. This advance preparation of germplasm with known desirable characteristics accelerates the overall development timeline while ensuring the target traits are present in the final variety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple breeding crosses are performed to combine desirable traits, then the combination of traits (yield, resistance, tolerance) is improved, but the complexity of the breeding program increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program is segmented into distinct phases: parent line selection, initial crossing, progeny testing, and variety registration. Each phase has specific objectives and selection criteria, allowing complex trait combinations to be achieved through systematic, manageable steps rather than attempting all crosses simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses intermediate breeding lines as mediators to transfer specific traits between parent varieties. These intermediate lines serve as bridges that facilitate the combination of multiple desirable traits while maintaining program organization and reducing direct complexity between final parent selections

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If extensive field testing is conducted to ensure variety stability and yield performance, then the agronomic soundness and yield stability are improved, but the resource requirements and time investment increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield stabilityVSAvoidresource requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

Field testing is applied locally at multiple geographic locations and environmental conditions to specifically evaluate yield stability and agronomic performance. This localized approach ensures the variety performs reliably across different settings without requiring excessive uniform testing everywhere, optimizing resource allocation while maintaining stability verification

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
