Soybean Cultivar 04110514: Multi-Trait Breeding and Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The development of new soybean cultivars with improved traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and altered fatty acid profiles is a time-consuming process requiring precise planning and resource management, with existing technologies failing to efficiently combine these desirable characteristics in a single cultivar.
Innovation Solution
The introduction of the soybean cultivar 04110514, which is developed through a combination of traditional breeding and genetic modification techniques, incorporating traits such as resistance to glyphosate, dicamba, and glufosinate herbicides, along with resistance to diseases like Phytophthora root rot and soybean cyst nematode, and optimized fatty acid composition, achieved through methods like backcrossing and genetic transformation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean cultivars with multiple improved traits, then the cultivar can achieve desired characteristics, but the process is time-consuming and requires precise forward planning
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-planning the breeding program with defined objectives and selecting parental germplasm in advance that possesses the desired traits. The breeding program is structured with predetermined steps including selection of germplasm, crossing strategies, and evaluation protocols, which accelerates the overall development process by avoiding changes in direction and optimizing resource allocation throughout the 6-12 year development cycle.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single cultivar through breeding, then the cultivar achieves superior performance, but the complexity of the breeding program increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex breeding program into distinct, manageable phases: (1) analysis and definition of problems and weaknesses of current germplasm, (2) establishment of program goals, (3) selection of germplasm with desired traits, (4) crossing and combination of traits, (5) evaluation and selection, and (6) marketing and distribution. This segmentation allows systematic management of multiple traits including higher seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and altered fatty acid profile without overwhelming complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies universality by selecting and developing soybean plants that simultaneously possess multiple functions and traits - including agronomic traits (yield, disease resistance, stress tolerance) and compositional traits (fatty acid profile, protein content). The breeding program aims to create a universal cultivar that serves multiple purposes: food production, oil extraction, and animal feed, thereby reducing the need for separate breeding programs for different objectives.
3Adaptability or versatility
If germplasm selection is performed to meet specific breeding objectives, then the desired traits are achieved, but the process requires efficient use of resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by systematically evaluating and selecting germplasm based on specific measurable parameters such as seed yield, disease resistance levels, drought tolerance indices, and fatty acid composition. The breeding program uses defined criteria and thresholds for selecting parental lines and evaluating progeny, which optimizes resource allocation by focusing efforts on germplasm that meets or exceeds the required parameter standards, thereby reducing wasted resources on unsuitable materials.
