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.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean variety 5PYUL87, which is self-pollinated to ensure homozygosity and phenotypic stability, along with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing the variety to produce stable, high-yielding soybeans with improved agronomic characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

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

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of desirable traitsVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by using molecular marker technology to identify and select plants with desired traits at early developmental stages, rather than waiting for full maturity and trait expression. This allows breeders to make selection decisions much earlier in the breeding process, significantly reducing the time required to develop new varieties while maintaining trait stability through genetically marked lines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If traditional breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then high yielding and disease resistant varieties can be developed, but the process is inefficient and directionally unstable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreeding efficiencyVSAvoidtime to deliver finished seed
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback through molecular marker-assisted selection, where genetic markers provide continuous information about the presence and combination of desired traits during the breeding process. This feedback mechanism allows breeders to track progress, make informed decisions about which plants to advance, and maintain directional stability in the breeding program, thereby improving overall breeding efficiency and reducing time to market.
