Solution Overview

Problem

Existing soybean cultivars lack improved traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and altered fatty acid profiles, which are essential for enhancing agricultural productivity and nutritional value.

Innovation Solution

Development of a new soybean cultivar (23151928) with genetic modifications for improved traits, including disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, and altered fatty acid composition, achieved through traditional breeding and genetic engineering techniques.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean cultivars, then genetic diversity and trait combination are improved, but the breeding process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing parental germplasm for specific desirable traits (disease resistance, yield components, fatty acid profiles) before crossing. This advance preparation and selection of parents with known trait profiles accelerates the breeding process by eliminating the need for extensive screening of progeny, thus reducing breeding time while maintaining genetic diversity and trait combination effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If selective breeding for specific traits is performed, then desirable traits such as disease resistance and yield are improved, but the complexity of the breeding program increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs feedback mechanisms by systematically evaluating parental germplasm and progeny for specific traits (disease resistance, yield, fatty acid composition) and using this information to guide subsequent breeding decisions. This feedback loop allows for precise selection of parents with desired traits while streamlining the breeding program structure, reducing complexity through data-driven decision-making rather than trial-and-error approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Stability of the object's composition

If multiple generations of breeding are conducted to stabilize traits, then cultivar stability is improved, but the development timeline is extended

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecultivar stabilityVSAvoiddevelopment timeline
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical breeding methods (repeated crossing and selection over multiple generations) with molecular marker-assisted selection and genomic evaluation. This substitution allows for early identification and fixation of desirable traits in fewer generations, achieving cultivar stability without requiring the extended timelines traditionally needed for multi-generational breeding programs.

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