Solution Overview

Problem

Current soybean breeding methods face challenges in developing stable, high-yielding varieties that combine desirable traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved nutritional quality, due to the unpredictability of genetic combinations and the time-consuming nature of conventional breeding processes.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety D5232543, which is adapted for late maturity group 0 growing areas, involves a specific breeding history and includes methods for crossing and selecting plants to introduce desired traits like herbicide resistance, insect resistance, and improved nutritional quality through genetic transformation and backcrossing techniques.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then genetic diversity is increased, but the breeding process becomes time-consuming and unpredictable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoidbreeding process duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting parental lines with specific desirable traits (disease resistance, yield potential, quality characteristics) before initiating the breeding program. This advance preparation and selection of parents with known trait profiles accelerates the breeding process by reducing the need for extensive screening in later generations, directly addressing the time-consuming nature of conventional breeding while maintaining genetic diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If multiple generations of crossing and selection are performed, then trait stability is improved, but productivity is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidbreeding output
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation and selection at each breeding generation. Performance data from field trials, laboratory analyses, and agronomic assessments are used to guide subsequent crossing decisions and selection criteria. This feedback loop ensures that only lines demonstrating stable inheritance of desired traits advance to the next generation, achieving variety stability while optimizing breeding productivity by eliminating inferior lines early in the process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If strict selection criteria are applied to ensure variety uniformity, then reliability is improved, but the breeding process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety uniformityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases with specific selection criteria for each stage: initial parental selection, F1 generation evaluation, F2-F4 generation trait stabilization, and final variety registration. Each phase has targeted uniformity requirements, allowing the program to manage complexity through structured progression while ensuring reliability through cumulative selection pressure at each segment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
