Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for a novel, superior soybean variety that offers improved yield potential, disease resistance, and adaptability to environmental challenges, as existing soybean cultivars face obstacles such as disease susceptibility and yield instability.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety GF34657602, which includes methods for producing plants with desirable traits such as disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, and improved yield through crossing and genetic modification, utilizing transgenes and locus conversions to introduce traits like glyphosate tolerance, insect resistance, and abiotic stress tolerance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional soybean breeding methods are used, then existing cultivars can be maintained, but yield stability and disease resistance are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield stabilityVSAvoidyield potential
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing transgenes that modify the genetic parameters of soybean plants. Specifically, transgenes encoding disease resistance proteins (e.g., Rps1C for Phytophthora resistance) and herbicide tolerance enzymes (e.g., EPSPS for glyphosate tolerance) are integrated into the soybean genome, fundamentally changing the biological parameters of the plant to achieve both yield stability and improved productivity simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If existing soybean cultivars are used, then current agricultural practices can be maintained, but disease resistance is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidgenetic modification complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary action by pre-introducing disease resistance transgenes into the soybean variety GF34657602 during its development. The Rps1C transgene providing Phytophthora resistance and other disease resistance genes are integrated into the variety's genome before commercial deployment, so that when farmers plant this variety, the disease resistance is already built-in, eliminating the need for complex field-level genetic modifications or repeated breeding interventions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by replicating successful transgene configurations from research and development into commercial seed production. The validated transgene constructs (such as the EPSPS gene for herbicide tolerance and Rps1C for disease resistance) are copied into the GF34657602 variety through controlled breeding and tissue culture methods, allowing the complex genetic modifications to be standardized and reproduced across commercial seed lots without requiring complex field operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If transgenes are introduced for desired traits, then disease resistance and herbicide tolerance are improved, but genetic modification complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait diversityVSAvoidgenetic modification complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies merging by combining multiple desired traits into a single soybean variety through the integration of multiple transgenes. The GF34657602 variety simultaneously contains transgenes for disease resistance (Rps1C), herbicide tolerance (EPSPS), and other agronomic improvements, all merged into one unified genetic package that can be propagated through conventional breeding and tissue culture methods, reducing the overall complexity compared to managing multiple separate modified varieties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
