Soybean Cultivar 24160601 Breeding for Trait Combination Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing soybean cultivars lack improved combinations of desirable traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and altered fatty acid profiles, which are time-consuming to develop and require precise planning and resource management.
Innovation Solution
Development of a new soybean cultivar 24160601 with enhanced traits achieved through traditional breeding and genetic modification, including introgression of transgenic or mutant traits, and use of regenerable cells for tissue culture to produce plants with specific characteristics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean cultivars with improved traits, then desirable traits such as disease resistance and yield can be combined, but the development process takes 6-12 years and requires significant resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing parental lines with specific desirable traits (disease resistance, yield, fatty acid profiles) before crossing. The breeding program is carefully planned and resourced in advance to accelerate the selection process, reducing the typical 6-12 year timeline through proactive preparation of breeding materials and structured selection protocols.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single cultivar, then overall performance improves, but the breeding process becomes more complex and requires precise forward planning
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases: parental line selection, controlled crossing, progeny evaluation, and cultivar development. Each phase focuses on specific traits (e.g., disease resistance in one phase, yield in another), allowing systematic combination of multiple desirable traits while managing complexity through structured, modular breeding steps.
3Reliability
If soybean oil composition is modified to improve oxidative stability and nutrition, then fatty acid profile is enhanced, but industrial processing requirements change
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the fatty acid composition parameters of soybean oil through selective breeding. Specific fatty acid ratios are targeted to improve oxidative stability and nutritional value, while the breeding program monitors and adjusts other compositional parameters to maintain compatibility with existing industrial processing requirements.
