Solution Overview

Problem

Soybean breeding is complex due to self-pollination, requiring extensive intervention and genetic diversity, making the development of new soybean cultivars unpredictable and time-consuming, with existing methods being inefficient in introducing desired traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and altered oil profiles.

Innovation Solution

The development of soybean cultivar CC1313450, which includes transgenes for herbicide resistance, fungal resistance, insect resistance, and altered oil profiles, along with methods for introducing desired traits through crossing, selfing, and selection, enabling the production of progeny with specific physiological and morphological characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean cultivars, then genetic diversity is maintained through self-pollination, but the development process becomes highly unpredictable and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictability of cultivar developmentVSAvoidtime required for cultivar development
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-introducing desired traits through transgenic modification before conventional breeding begins. The soybean cultivar is genetically engineered with specific traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, altered oil profiles) prior to crossing and selection, thereby eliminating the unpredictable and time-consuming process of introducing these traits through traditional mutagenesis or repeated backcrossing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If extensive intervention is applied to overcome self-pollination limitations, then cross-pollination and genetic recombination are achieved, but breeding complexity and operational difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to introduce desired traitsVSAvoidbreeding method complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses molecular markers as intermediaries to simplify the breeding process. These markers serve as reliable indicators that allow breeders to track and select for desired traits without extensive manual intervention or complex pollination manipulation. The markers act as a bridge between the complex genetic background and the simple selection decision, reducing operational complexity while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If traditional selection methods are used to move desired alleles, then genetic traits are transferred through repeated crossing and selection, but the efficiency of trait introduction is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of trait introductionVSAvoidgenerations required for trait fixation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of repeated manual crossing and phenotypic selection with a molecular-based system. DNA markers and molecular diagnostics allow for direct genetic analysis, enabling breeders to identify and select for desired alleles in a single generation rather than requiring multiple generations of crossing and selection. This substitution dramatically increases productivity and reduces the time required for trait fixation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
