Solution Overview

Problem

Current soybean breeding methods face challenges in developing stable, high-yielding varieties with desirable traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved nutritional quality, as they rely on conventional breeding techniques that are time-consuming and unpredictable, and often result in varieties that are difficult to replicate.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety A1036005, which involves crossing specific parental lines and using techniques like backcrossing and genetic transformation to introduce desired traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality, while maintaining the morphological and physiological characteristics of the recurrent parent.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional breeding techniques are used, then variety development follows traditional methods, but the process is time-consuming and unpredictable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictability of breeding outcomeVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs backcrossing as a preliminary action to pre-establish a stable genetic background before introducing specific desirable traits. This preliminary genetic setup ensures predictable outcomes by maintaining the recurrent parent's morphology and physiology while incorporating targeted improvements, thereby reducing the time and unpredictability associated with conventional breeding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The invention applies local quality by introducing specific desirable traits (such as herbicide resistance, disease resistance, or improved nutritional quality) into an otherwise stable genetic background. This allows precise modification of particular characteristics without altering the overall variety stability, achieving reliable and predictable breeding outcomes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single variety, then nutritional quality and resistance improve, but breeding complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of desirable traitsVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple desirable traits into a single soybean variety through systematic backcrossing. By combining disease resistance, herbicide resistance, and improved nutritional quality in one variety, it achieves high adaptability and versatility. The method manages breeding program complexity by using a structured approach that maintains the recurrent parent's stable genetic background while integrating multiple trait improvements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a universal breeding platform where a single recurrent parent variety serves multiple functions: maintaining stable morphology and physiology, providing a consistent genetic background, and accepting integration of various desirable traits. This multi-functionality reduces overall breeding complexity while achieving comprehensive trait improvement.

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

3Productivity

If genetic transformation is used to introduce traits, then trait introduction becomes more efficient, but regulatory and safety considerations increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait introduction efficiencyVSAvoidregulatory compliance complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes genetic transformation to efficiently introduce desirable traits by directly modifying genetic parameters. This method significantly improves productivity in trait introduction compared to traditional breeding. The structured backcrossing approach manages regulatory and safety considerations by maintaining a stable, well-characterized genetic background, making the transformation process more controllable and compliant.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
