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 tolerance to environmental stresses, 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 soybean variety 5PUUD98, which is a stable, high-yielding variety with improved agronomic characteristics, along with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing the variety to produce derived soybean plants and parts, facilitating the development of new varieties with enhanced traits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the variety achieves high yield and disease resistance, but the development process takes six to twelve years and requires extensive resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield stability and disease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing variety 5PUUD98 with multiple desirable traits (high yield, disease resistance, stress tolerance) before using it as a parent in breeding programs. This allows derived varieties to inherit these traits more efficiently, reducing the time required to develop new varieties compared to traditional breeding methods that start from uncharacterized germplasm.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then the final variety achieves improved agronomic characteristics, but the process requires extensive resources and precise planning with minimum changes in direction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic characteristicsVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by creating variety 5PUUD98 as a multi-functional parent variety that simultaneously provides high yield, disease resistance, and stress tolerance. This single variety can be used across multiple breeding programs to achieve different agronomic goals, reducing the need for separate breeding programs for each trait and simplifying the overall breeding process.

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

3Stability of the object's composition

If conventional breeding approaches are used to develop new varieties, then the process can achieve stable high-yielding varieties, but it requires six to twelve years from first cross to finished seed delivery

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidbreeding efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies copying by using variety 5PUUD98 as a standardized parent that can be repeatedly crossed with different other varieties to produce multiple derived varieties. This standardized parent serves as a template that copies its desirable traits across multiple breeding programs, increasing breeding efficiency while maintaining variety stability through consistent inheritance patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
