Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The development of new soybean cultivars is a time-consuming process that requires precise planning and efficient resource use, aiming to combine desirable traits such as high seed yield, disease resistance, and improved agronomic quality.
Innovation Solution
The introduction of a new soybean cultivar, designated 15450220, which can be used in crossing with other soybean plants to produce hybrid seeds and plants with superior characteristics, along with methods for introgressing transgenic or mutant traits and using regenerable cells in tissue culture.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional soybean cultivar development processes are used, then desirable traits can be combined in a single cultivar, but the process takes six to twelve years and is time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by establishing a structured breeding program with predefined goals and selecting parental germplasm with desired traits before beginning the crossbreeding process. This forward planning allows the development process to proceed more efficiently through predetermined stages, reducing overall development time while maintaining trait combination reliability
2Productivity
If new soybean cultivars are developed through traditional breeding, then superior varieties with improved traits can be produced, but the process requires precise forward planning and efficient resource use with minimum changes in direction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the breeding process into distinct phases: parental selection, crossbreeding, progeny evaluation, and cultivar development. Each phase has specific objectives and criteria, allowing the complex breeding program to be managed through modular, manageable stages that improve productivity while controlling overall program complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs universal breeding objectives that can be applied across different soybean cultivar developments. The same systematic approach—selecting for yield, disease resistance, and agronomic quality—can be used for multiple cultivars, making the breeding program methodology universally applicable and reducing the need for complex customizations
