Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for a novel, superior soybean variety that offers improved yield potential, disease resistance, and adaptability to mechanical harvest, with specific traits such as lodging resistance, herbicide tolerance, and high-quality food-grade characteristics for the production of soybean products like soymilk and tofu.

Innovation Solution

The development of soybean variety BK000600, which is bred for superior agronomic characteristics, including high yield potential, lodging resistance, and disease resistance, and can be further enhanced with transgenic traits like glyphosate tolerance, insect resistance, and modified fatty acid metabolism, through methods involving crossing, backcrossing, and tissue culture regeneration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional soybean varieties are used, then basic agricultural production is maintained, but yield potential and disease resistance are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield potentialVSAvoiddisease resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying specific genetic parameters of soybean plants through transgenic transformation. The soybean variety BK000600 incorporates specific gene modifications that change physiological parameters to achieve both high yield potential and enhanced disease resistance, resolving the contradiction between productivity and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses composite materials in the sense of combining multiple genetic traits into a single soybean variety. The variety integrates conventional desirable traits with newly introduced transgenic traits (such as disease resistance genes and yield enhancement genes) to create a composite genetic profile that simultaneously achieves high productivity and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Productivity

If soybean varieties are bred for high yield, then productivity increases, but adaptability to mechanical harvest and lodging resistance decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveyieldVSAvoidadaptability to mechanical harvest
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by developing specific plant architecture characteristics in different parts of the soybean plant. The variety BK000600 has modified stem strength and branch distribution in specific locations to prevent lodging while maintaining high yield, and pod orientation characteristics that enhance mechanical harvest efficiency, thus resolving the contradiction between yield and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If transgenic traits are introduced to enhance functionality, then desired traits are improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesired traitsVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-developing and validating the transgenic soybean variety BK000600 in controlled research settings before commercial release. The genetic modifications, including multiple transgenes for disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, and yield enhancement, were systematically introduced and screened in advance, reducing the complexity of subsequent commercial production and distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
