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 5PUQS80, which is stable, high-yielding, and agronomically sound, along with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing the variety to produce seeds, cells, and plants with improved traits like resistance to diseases and environmental stresses.

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 high yield, but the development process takes six to twelve years and requires extensive resources

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing a structured breeding program with defined objectives, selected germplasm, and planned crossing schemes before actual breeding begins. This preparatory phase includes identifying parent lines with desirable traits, establishing breeding goals, and designing the crossing program in advance, which streamlines the subsequent breeding process and reduces overall development time while maintaining variety stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the variety achieves high yield and agronomic soundness, but the process requires extensive resources and is inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveyieldVSAvoidresource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms by systematically evaluating breeding progress against predefined objectives, monitoring trait expression in progeny, and adjusting breeding strategies based on performance data. This includes assessing yield components, disease resistance, and agronomic traits at various stages, allowing breeders to make informed decisions that optimize resource allocation and improve breeding efficiency while maintaining high yield potential

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying key breeding parameters such as selecting parent lines with optimized trait combinations, adjusting crossing schemes based on performance data, and modifying selection criteria to prioritize traits that contribute most to yield and resource efficiency. This dynamic adjustment of breeding parameters enables the program to achieve high productivity with reduced resource input
