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 often result in only a few commercially viable varieties from thousands of potential ones.

Innovation Solution

Development of the soybean variety RJS06001, which combines traits such as glyphosate resistance, good Phytophthora field tolerance, and exceptional yield potential, achieved through careful breeding and selection, allowing for self-pollination and stabilization of genetic traits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding processes are used to develop new varieties, then desirable traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved fatty acid profiles can be achieved, but the process is time-consuming and resource-intensive, taking 6-12 years from the first cross to marketing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesirable traits combinationVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing a structured breeding program with defined objectives, selecting parent germplasm with desirable traits before crossing, and planning multiple generations of selection and evaluation in advance. This systematic pre-planning reduces the overall breeding cycle time while maintaining the development of reliable desirable traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved fatty acid profiles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If extensive breeding programs are conducted to create over 500,000 potential new varieties each year, then genetic diversity and trait combination options are increased, but the resource expenditure and time investment become proportionally larger

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic diversityVSAvoidnumber of varieties developed
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by focusing breeding efforts on specific target traits and markets rather than developing all possible varieties. The program identifies particular desirable traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, fatty acid profiles) and concentrates resources on creating varieties with these specific characteristics, thereby reducing the total number of varieties needed while maintaining genetic diversity for the intended purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying breeding objectives and selection criteria based on changing agricultural needs, market demands, and environmental conditions. This allows the program to adapt the number and type of varieties developed to current requirements, optimizing the balance between genetic diversity and resource expenditure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If breeding programs focus on developing stable, high-yielding varieties with multiple desirable traits, then agricultural productivity and food security are improved, but the complexity of the breeding process and selection criteria increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrain yieldVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex breeding program into distinct phases and components: parent germplasm selection, crossing design, generation-specific selection objectives, field testing protocols, and variety release criteria. This segmentation makes the overall complex process more manageable and systematic, allowing focused attention on each component while achieving stable, high-yielding varieties with multiple desirable traits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
