Solution Overview

Problem

Current soybean breeding processes are time-consuming and resource-intensive, aiming to develop stable, high-yielding varieties with desirable traits like disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved fatty acid profiles, but face challenges in efficiently combining these traits into a single variety.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety RJS01002, which combines traits such as glyphosate resistance, multi-race Phytophthora resistance, good Phytophthora field tolerance, and exceptional yield potential, achieved through careful breeding and selection, allowing for the creation of a stable and homozygous soybean line with improved agronomic qualities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding processes are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then the resulting variety achieves improved agronomic qualities and disease resistance, but the breeding process becomes extremely time-consuming and resource-intensive

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing parental lines with specific desirable traits (glyphosate resistance, Phytophthora resistance, high yield potential) before crossing. This advance preparation of parental germplasm with known trait profiles accelerates the breeding process while ensuring the combination of multiple resistance traits in the final variety RJS01002

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple parental lines with different desirable traits are crossed to combine traits, then the resulting variety achieves superior agronomic qualities, but the complexity of the breeding program increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct stages: selecting parental lines with specific single traits (glyphosate resistance, Phytophthora resistance), crossing them to combine traits, and then evaluating progeny for the desired combination. This segmented approach to trait combination reduces program complexity while achieving multi-trait superiority in variety RJS01002

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Stability of the object's composition

If extensive screening and selection is performed to ensure variety stability and homozygosity, then the resulting variety achieves commercial readiness and stability, but the resource requirements and time investment increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidbreeding resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies feedback by implementing systematic evaluation and screening of breeding progeny to assess trait expression, disease resistance, and yield performance. This feedback mechanism allows breeders to select only those lines that demonstrate stable inheritance of desired traits, ensuring commercial readiness of variety RJS01002 while optimizing resource use through targeted selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
