Solution Overview

Problem

The development of new soybean varieties is a time-consuming process that requires precise planning and efficient resource use, aiming to combine desirable traits such as high yield, disease resistance, and adaptability to various conditions, but existing methods are slow and prone to directional changes.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean variety P25A65R, which is stable and homozygous, combined with methods for crossing, introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing plants to produce varieties with improved agronomic characteristics, including resistance to diseases and environmental stresses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then disease resistance and yield improvement can be achieved, but the breeding process takes 6-12 years and requires multiple directional changes

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing variety P25A65R with desirable traits (disease resistance, yield potential, adaptability) before using it as a parent in breeding programs. This advance preparation reduces the time needed for trait combination by starting with already-optimized genetic material rather than beginning from scratch in traditional breeding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses variety P25A65R as a reusable genetic template that can be copied and combined with different other varieties to produce multiple new varieties with consistent desirable traits. This copying approach eliminates the need to repeat the entire breeding process for each new variety, significantly reducing breeding duration while maintaining reliability of desired traits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Productivity

If multiple crosses and selections are performed to achieve high yield and adaptability, then desirable trait combination is improved, but resource consumption and process complexity increase

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes variety P25A65R a universal parent that can be used across multiple breeding programs to achieve different desirable outcomes (high yield, disease resistance, adaptability). This multi-functional use of a single variety simplifies the overall breeding ecosystem by providing a consistent, reliable genetic foundation that works across different targets and conditions, reducing process complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes key breeding parameters by using P25A65R as the starting point, which already possesses optimized characteristics for yield, resistance, and adaptability. This parameter optimization at the parent variety level reduces the number of selection cycles and crossing operations needed to achieve high productivity, thereby reducing process complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Stability of the object's composition

If traditional breeding programs are implemented to ensure stability and uniformity, then variety consistency is maintained, but the development timeline extends to 6-12 years

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by using variety P25A65R, which has been pre-characterized and proven stable and uniform. This variety essentially serves its own purpose as a reliable parent that automatically contributes consistent, stable traits to offspring without requiring extensive additional verification or intervention, thereby maintaining variety stability while reducing development time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by propagating variety P25A65R and its desirable traits through controlled crosses, creating multiple new varieties that inherit its stable and uniform characteristics. This copying process efficiently transfers proven stability and uniformity to new varieties without requiring the full 6-12 year development cycle for each one.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
