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.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean variety 5PYVU85, which is a stable, high-yielding variety with improved agronomic characteristics, combined 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 soybean varieties with enhanced traits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used, then desirable traits can be combined in a variety, but the development process takes six to twelve years making it time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination of desirable traitsVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing a standardized breeding protocol and using molecular markers to identify and select for desirable traits before the actual breeding process begins. This allows the variety development to follow a predetermined efficient path, reducing the overall development time while maintaining reliable trait combination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical breeding methods with molecular marker-assisted selection and genomic tools. This substitution enables faster identification and selection of desirable traits without requiring extensive physical crossing and phenotypic evaluation cycles, thereby reducing development time from six to twelve years to a more efficient process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used, then varieties can be developed with improved traits, but the process requires imprecise planning and inefficient resource use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic soundnessVSAvoidbreeding process efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through molecular marker analysis and genomic evaluation that continuously monitor the breeding process. This feedback allows for real-time adjustment of breeding strategies, ensuring precise planning and efficient resource use while maintaining reliable agronomic soundness of the developed variety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by employing molecular markers and genomic data to track and select for specific traits with precision. This transforms the breeding process from a vague, experience-based approach to a data-driven process with measurable parameters, improving both the reliability of the variety and the efficiency of the breeding process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding is used, then new varieties can be created, but the direction of breeding is unstable and lacks precise planning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety developmentVSAvoidbreeding direction stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by developing a multi-functional breeding platform that can target multiple desirable traits simultaneously using standardized molecular markers and genomic tools. This universal approach provides stable, repeatable breeding directions while maintaining adaptability to different crop improvement goals, eliminating the instability of conventional breeding directions.

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