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 in a single variety.

Innovation Solution

Development of the soybean variety RJS05001, which combines traits such as glyphosate resistance, multi-race Phytophthora resistance, and iron deficiency chlorosis tolerance, achieved through careful breeding and selection, allowing for improved yield potential and stress tolerance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional soybean breeding processes are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then trait combination is achieved, but the breeding process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-screening and selecting parental lines that already possess specific desirable traits (glyphosate resistance, Phytophthora resistance, iron deficiency chlorosis tolerance) before initiating the breeding program. This preliminary selection of genetically superior parents accelerates the trait combination process by starting with optimized genetic material rather than creating all traits from scratch through multiple generations of breeding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If extensive breeding programs are conducted to develop stable high-yielding varieties, then variety stability and yield are improved, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation and selection processes at multiple stages of breeding. Performance data from field trials, disease resistance assessments, and yield measurements are continuously monitored and fed back into the breeding program to guide subsequent crossing decisions. This feedback-driven approach optimizes resource allocation by focusing breeding efforts on the most promising genetic combinations rather than uniformly testing all possible crosses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying key breeding parameters such as selecting for specific disease resistance genes (Rps1c for Phytophthora), herbicide resistance traits (glyphosate resistance), and abiotic stress tolerance (iron deficiency chlorosis tolerance). By changing these genetic parameters in the parental lines and their progeny, the program achieves stable high-yielding varieties with multiple desirable traits while reducing the need for extensive breeding cycles and associated resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If multiple traits are combined in a single variety, then variety performance is enhanced, but the complexity of breeding program increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield potentialVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex multi-trait breeding program into manageable components: (1) selecting parental lines with specific individual traits, (2) performing targeted crosses to combine traits, (3) evaluating progeny for trait inheritance and expression, and (4) selecting superior recombinants. This segmented approach to breeding reduces program complexity by breaking down the overall goal of combining multiple traits into sequential, controllable steps rather than attempting to achieve all trait combinations simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
