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 efficiency.

Innovation Solution

Development of a new soybean cultivar 23001205 with enhanced traits through traditional breeding and genetic modification, including resistance to diseases and insects, tolerance to drought and heat, and altered fatty acid profiles, achieved via crossing, mutagenesis, and transformation methods.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean cultivars, then desirable traits such as disease resistance and improved yield can be achieved, but the development process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting parental lines with desired traits (disease resistance, yield potential, fatty acid profiles) before crossing. The breeding program is designed with forward planning, where germplasm selection and crossing strategies are established in advance to accelerate the development of cultivar 23001205 with multiple desirable traits simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single cultivar, then improved seed yield and disease resistance are achieved, but the breeding program requires precise forward planning and efficient resource use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple desirable traits from different parental lines into a single cultivar (23001205). The breeding program combines disease resistance, improved yield potential, and altered fatty acid profiles by selecting appropriate parental germplasm and executing planned crosses to integrate these traits into one unified cultivar.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

Cultivar 23001205 is developed with multi-functionality, serving multiple purposes simultaneously: it provides high seed yield, disease resistance, and modified fatty acid composition suitable for both culinary and industrial applications. This universal cultivar addresses multiple agricultural needs in a single variety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If new soybean cultivars are developed with altered fatty acid profiles, then improved oxidative stability and nutrition are achieved, but the development process requires six to twelve years from first cross to marketing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoxidative stabilityVSAvoidcultivar development duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting parental lines with desired fatty acid profiles and conducting preliminary crosses to establish breeding populations with the target lipid composition. This forward planning accelerates the development of cultivar 23001205 with improved oxidative stability by having the fatty acid trait selection occur early in the breeding process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
