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 5PZVS61, which is a stable, high-yielding variety with improved traits like resistance to diseases and environmental stresses, achieved through breeding and genetic methods such as backcrossing and transgenic trait introgression, allowing for the production of seeds, cells, plants, and plant parts with specific characteristics.

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 6-12 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-selecting and characterizing parent lines with specific desirable traits (high yield, disease resistance, stress tolerance) before initiating the breeding program. This advance preparation of germplasm with known characteristics accelerates the breeding process by eliminating later-generation testing and selection steps, directly reducing the 6-12 year development timeline while maintaining trait reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If multiple crossing and selection steps are performed to achieve stable traits, then the variety shows consistent performance across environments, but the process becomes complex and prone to directional changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait consistency across environmentsVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the breeding process into distinct, manageable phases: parent line selection, controlled crossing, F1 generation evaluation, and targeted backcrossing. Each phase has specific objectives and selection criteria, reducing overall process complexity. This segmentation allows systematic tracking of trait inheritance and environmental stability without requiring overly complex multi-generational testing protocols

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If extensive field testing and evaluation are conducted to ensure agronomic soundness, then the variety performs well under different conditions, but resource consumption and time requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance across different conditionsVSAvoidbreeding output per unit time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by conducting controlled environment testing and preliminary field evaluations of parent lines before formal crossing. This advance assessment of adaptability traits (drought tolerance, heat tolerance, disease resistance) in parent generations allows selection of lines with proven multi-environment performance, reducing the need for extensive multi-location testing in later generations and thereby increasing breeding productivity while maintaining adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
