Solution Overview

Problem

Current soybean breeding methods face challenges in developing stable, high-yielding varieties with desirable traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved nutritional quality, as they rely on conventional breeding techniques that are time-consuming and unpredictable, leading to the need for innovative approaches to introduce specific traits like herbicide resistance and improved agronomic characteristics.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety D5684792, which includes methods for crossing and breeding to introduce specific traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality through genetic transformation and backcrossing, allowing for the creation of hybrid seeds and plants with enhanced characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional breeding techniques are used to develop soybean varieties with desirable traits, then the breeding process is time-consuming and unpredictable, but the methods are simple and do not require complex genetic transformation procedures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictability of trait inheritanceVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical breeding techniques (cross-pollination, selection, and multiple generations of selfing) with a direct genetic transformation approach. By introducing genes conferring desirable traits (such as herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality) directly into the soybean genome through genetic engineering, the breeding process bypasses the time-consuming steps of traditional cross-breeding and selection, thereby reducing the breeding cycle duration while improving predictability of trait inheritance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding techniques are used, then the process is straightforward and does not require genetic transformation, but it cannot efficiently introduce specific traits like herbicide resistance and improved agronomic characteristics

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to introduce specific traitsVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and isolates specific genes responsible for desirable traits (such as herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality) from donor organisms and introduces them directly into the soybean genome. This extraction approach allows for the precise introduction of specific traits without the complexity of traditional breeding processes, enabling the soybean variety to possess targeted characteristics while maintaining overall genetic simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs genetic transformation to directly alter the genetic parameters of the soybean variety by introducing foreign genes or modifying existing genes. This parameter change approach allows for the efficient introduction of specific traits (such as changed biochemical pathways for nutritional quality or modified receptor proteins for herbicide resistance) without requiring complex multi-generation breeding procedures, thereby achieving high adaptability with reduced process complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If genetic transformation and backcrossing are used to introduce specific traits, then the breeding efficiency is improved and desirable traits can be introduced, but the process becomes more complex compared to conventional breeding

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreeding efficiencyVSAvoidbreeding methodology complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary genetic transformation of the soybean variety by introducing genes conferring desirable traits before completing the full breeding cycle. By pre-introducing traits such as herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality through genetic engineering, the breeding process can focus subsequent generations on optimizing these traits rather than introducing them from scratch through cross-breeding, thereby significantly improving breeding efficiency and productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
