Solution Overview

Problem

Current soybean cultivars face challenges in combining desirable traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and altered fatty acid profiles, which are time-consuming to develop and require precise planning and resource efficiency.

Innovation Solution

Development of a new soybean cultivar 24101944 with improved traits achieved through traditional breeding and genetic modification, including introgression of transgenic or mutant traits, and use of regenerable cells for tissue culture to produce plants with specific characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the cultivar achieves improved seed yield, disease resistance, and fatty acid profiles, but the development process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesirable traits combinationVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing parental lines with specific desirable traits (high seed yield, disease resistance, altered fatty acid profiles) before crossing. The parental germplasm is carefully chosen and prepared in advance, with known genetic backgrounds and trait expressions, allowing the breeding program to start from a optimized foundation rather than exploring random combinations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The breeding program is segmented into distinct phases: parental line selection, controlled crossing, progeny evaluation, and cultivar development. Each phase has specific objectives and selection criteria, allowing systematic progression through the breeding process. This segmentation enables efficient resource allocation and tracking of progress toward the goal of combining multiple desirable traits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single cultivar, then the agronomic quality and seed yield improve, but the breeding program complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by selecting parental lines that each excel in specific local traits rather than requiring one parent to have all desirable traits. For example, one parent may be selected for high seed yield and another for disease resistance, allowing each parent to be optimized for its specific strength. The crossing then combines these locally optimized traits in the progeny.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The breeding program uses universal selection criteria and evaluation methods that can assess multiple traits simultaneously. The same progeny populations are evaluated for yield, disease resistance, and fatty acid composition using standardized protocols, allowing one breeding program to pursue multiple objectives without proportionally increasing complexity.

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

3Loss of time

If precise forward planning is implemented to reduce development time, then resource efficiency improves, but the flexibility to adapt to changes decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevelopment timeVSAvoidprogram flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program incorporates dynamics by implementing annual evaluation cycles where progeny are assessed and the best performers are advanced to the next phase. This dynamic progression allows the program to adapt to emerging data and environmental conditions while maintaining an overall forward plan. The selection criteria and parental choices can be adjusted based on performance observations without abandoning the structured breeding approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
