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 soybean variety 5PYJK64, which is stable, high-yielding, and agronomically sound, along with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing the variety to produce plants with improved traits for different environments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the variety can achieve high yield and disease resistance, but the development process takes 6-12 years and requires extensive resources

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-screening and selecting parent lines with desirable traits (high yield, disease resistance, adaptability) before initiating the breeding program. This advance preparation of germplasm with known favorable characteristics accelerates the breeding process while maintaining reliability of the final variety performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple breeding objectives are pursued simultaneously, then the final variety can possess multiple desirable traits, but the process becomes complex and prone to directional changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-trait improvementVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases: parent line selection, crossing, progeny evaluation, and variety development. Each phase focuses on specific objectives (e.g., initial crosses target yield and maturity, subsequent generations focus on disease resistance), reducing overall program complexity while achieving multi-trait improvement in the final variety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
