Solution Overview

Problem

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

Innovation Solution

Development of a new soybean cultivar 22080244 with enhanced traits achieved through traditional breeding and genetic modification, including introgression of transgenic or mutant traits, and utilization of regenerable cells for tissue culture, along with methods for determining genotype and introducing specific genetic markers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the cultivar achieves superior characteristics, but the development process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesuperior characteristicsVSAvoiddevelopment process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing parental lines with specific desirable traits (herbicide tolerance, disease resistance, fatty acid profiles) before crossing. The parental germplasm is carefully chosen and prepared in advance, with known phenotypes and genotypes, to accelerate the breeding process and reduce the time required to develop superior cultivars.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

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

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic qualityVSAvoidbreeding program
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct stages: selecting parental lines with specific traits, performing controlled crosses, evaluating F1 progeny for desired characteristics, and advancing superior lines through multiple generations. This segmented approach allows systematic management of complex multi-trait breeding programs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by focusing on specific traits in specific parental lines rather than attempting to combine all desirable traits in a single parent. Each parental line is selected for its strengths in particular areas (e.g., one parent for herbicide tolerance, another for disease resistance), and the crossing program is designed to combine these localized trait advantages in the progeny.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If precise forward planning is implemented in cultivar development, then resource efficiency improves, but the program requires rigid adherence to schedule

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource efficiencyVSAvoidflexibility in direction
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies feedback by implementing systematic evaluation and selection at each breeding stage. Phenotypic and genotypic data from progeny testing feed back into breeding decisions, allowing the program to identify superior lines and adjust subsequent crossing strategies based on actual performance data rather than following a rigid predetermined path.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
