Solution Overview

Problem

The development of new soybean cultivars is a time-consuming process that requires precise planning and resource management, aiming to combine desirable traits such as high seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved fatty acid profile, while existing methods are inefficient in achieving these goals.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean cultivar S100289, which is resistant to glufosinate herbicides and Phytophthora Root Rot, with high yield potential and excellent agronomic characteristics, combined with methods for producing transgenic variants through gene transfer and transformation, allowing for the introduction of desired traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and modified fatty acid metabolism.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean cultivars, then desirable traits can be combined, but the process is time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreeding efficiencyVSAvoidcultivar development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing the soybean line with multiple desirable traits (high yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, improved fatty acid profile) before final cultivar release. This allows the line to be ready for immediate use in breeding programs, reducing the overall time required to develop new cultivars while maintaining high productivity through efficient trait combination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single variety, then agronomic performance improves, but breeding complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic stabilityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases: initial line development with specific traits, characterisation and evaluation, and final cultivar release. This segmentation allows each trait (yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, fatty acid profile) to be optimized separately before integration, reducing overall breeding complexity while achieving reliable agronomic performance through systematic trait combination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Speed

If transgenic methods are used to introduce desired traits, then trait introduction speed increases, but regulatory and technical complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait introduction speedVSAvoidtransformation process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the intermediary principle by using a characterisation program as a mediator between trait introduction and final cultivar release. This characterisation program systematically evaluates and documents the genetic and phenotypic traits of transformed lines, providing a structured approach that manages the complexity of transgenic methods while maintaining fast trait introduction speeds through standardized evaluation protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
