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 procedures that are time-consuming and unpredictable, leading to significant research costs and variability in results.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety D6897751, 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 consistent physiological and morphological characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional breeding procedures are used to develop soybean varieties with desirable traits, then disease resistance and nutritional quality can be improved, but the process becomes time-consuming and unpredictable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding process time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses molecular markers as intermediaries to detect and select for desirable traits (disease resistance, nutritional quality) at the DNA level. This mediator allows breeders to identify plants with target traits without waiting for phenotypic expression, dramatically reducing breeding time and increasing reliability of trait selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical breeding methods (crossing, phenotypic selection, field testing) with molecular marker-based selection. Instead of observing physical traits after plant growth, the system uses DNA analysis to directly identify plants with desired genetic characteristics, substituting biological/physical processes with molecular-level detection.

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

2Reliability

If conventional breeding procedures are used to develop soybean varieties with desirable traits, then improved traits can be achieved, but research costs become significant

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait consistencyVSAvoidresearch costs
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary genetic analysis using molecular markers during early plant development stages. By identifying plants with desirable traits at the seedling or幼苗 stage through DNA extraction and marker analysis, the system prevents investment in plants that will not express target traits, reducing wasted resources on growing, harvesting, and testing unwanted varieties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback through molecular marker detection that provides immediate information about the genetic composition of breeding plants. This feedback mechanism allows real-time selection decisions based on actual genetic content rather than delayed phenotypic observation, enabling more efficient allocation of research resources to promising lines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding procedures are used, then variety development can proceed, but results show significant variability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination flexibilityVSAvoidtrait consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

Molecular markers serve as precise intermediaries that directly detect the presence or absence of specific genetic alleles associated with desirable traits. This intermediary system provides binary, unambiguous information about genetic content, eliminating the variability and subjectivity inherent in phenotypic assessment and enabling precise selection for consistent trait expression.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
