Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding methods are used to develop soybean varieties, then the breeding process can be simpler and faster, but it is difficult to combine multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, improved nutritional quality) in a single variety

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination of desirable traitsVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs genetic transformation technology to directly modify the genetic parameters of soybean plants, introducing multiple desirable traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, improved nutritional quality) through molecular breeding techniques. This allows precise control over trait combination while maintaining breeding process efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If genetic transformation techniques are used to introduce desirable traits, then multiple traits can be combined in a single variety, but the process becomes more complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination of desirable traitsVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes pre-characterized parental lines with known desirable traits (such as herbicide resistance and disease resistance) to streamline the genetic transformation process. By selecting parents with established trait profiles, the breeding program reduces the time required for trait introduction and validation while ensuring reliable trait combination in the resulting varieties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple traits are introduced through backcrossing and tissue culture, then the desired trait combination is achieved, but the morphological and physiological characteristics may vary

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoidmorphological and physiological characteristics
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs tissue culture techniques as an intermediary method to maintain the stability of morphological and physiological characteristics while introducing multiple desirable traits. The tissue culture process allows for precise control over plant regeneration, ensuring that the resulting varieties maintain uniform characteristics while incorporating the desired trait combinations from the parental lines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
