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 efficiency.

Innovation Solution

Development of a new soybean cultivar 22032104 with integrated traits like disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, and modified fatty acid composition, achieved through genetic modification and traditional breeding techniques, including backcrossing and transgenic methods.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If traditional breeding techniques are used to combine desirable traits, then the cultivar achieves stable inheritance of traits, but the development process becomes time-consuming (6-12 years)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait stabilityVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting parental lines with specific desirable traits (disease resistance, yield potential, fatty acid profiles) before initiating the breeding program. This advance preparation of germplasm with known trait combinations accelerates the overall development timeline while ensuring trait stability in the final cultivar.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single cultivar, then the agronomic performance is improved, but the breeding program complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic performanceVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the breeding program into distinct phases: (1) selection of parental lines with specific traits, (2) controlled crossing to combine traits, (3) evaluation of progeny for desired trait combinations, and (4) stabilization of the cultivar. This segmentation of the breeding process into manageable stages reduces program complexity while achieving multi-trait cultivars with superior agronomic performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Loss of energy

If precise forward planning is implemented to efficient use resources, then resource efficiency is improved, but the ability to adapt to new opportunities is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource efficiencyVSAvoidprogram adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamics by establishing a flexible breeding program framework that maintains precise resource allocation while allowing adaptive adjustments. The program monitors trait expression and environmental responses across generations, enabling reallocation of breeding resources to prioritize traits that show promising interactions or respond to emerging agricultural needs, thus balancing resource efficiency with program adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
