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, but existing methods are slow and prone to directional changes.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of the soybean variety 5PVSR94, which is stable, high-yielding, and agronomically sound, 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 improved traits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

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 precise planning with minimal directional changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield stabilityVSAvoidbreeding process duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by providing a pre-developed soybean variety (5PVSR94) that has already been bred to possess desired traits including high yield, disease resistance, and adaptability. This eliminates the need for farmers or breeders to undergo the lengthy six to twelve year breeding process, as the variety is ready for immediate deployment with proven performance characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If new soybean varieties are developed through traditional breeding, then improved traits can be achieved, but the process is time-consuming and requires efficient resource use with minimum changes in direction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to conditionsVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies copying by providing a complete, proven genetic model (soybean variety 5PVSR94) that can be replicated and distributed to multiple farmers and regions. This single successful variety serves as a template that can be copied across different growing conditions, eliminating the need for each location to independently develop adapted varieties through complex breeding programs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Productivity

If soybean breeders aim for maximal yield over different conditions and environments, then high yielding varieties can be developed, but the development process becomes more complex and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidtime from first cross to finished seed
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves this contradiction by presenting a soybean variety (5PVSR94) that has already undergone the complete breeding process to achieve high yield across multiple conditions. The variety demonstrates proven productivity with yield values ranging from 40-60 bushels per acre across different locations and years, eliminating the time investment required to develop such high-yielding varieties from scratch.
