Solution Overview

Problem

Current soybean cultivar development is time-consuming and resource-intensive, aiming to combine desirable traits like high yield, disease resistance, and improved fatty acid profiles, but existing methods are inefficient in achieving stable and uniform results within a reasonable timeframe.

Innovation Solution

Development of a new soybean cultivar, S100297, which is mid-maturity group IV, resistant to glufosinate herbicides and Phytophthora Root Rot, with high yield potential and excellent agronomic characteristics, achieved through specific breeding and genetic modification techniques, including transgenic variants and tissue culture methods.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean cultivars, then desirable traits can be combined, but the process takes 6-12 years and is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination stabilityVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-screening and selecting parental lines with desired traits (high yield, disease resistance, improved fatty acid profiles) before crossing. This preliminary selection and characterization of parent plants accelerates the breeding process by ensuring that only genetically superior lines are combined, reducing the time needed for subsequent selection and evaluation stages while maintaining trait stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single variety, then agronomic quality improves, but the breeding process becomes more complex and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic qualityVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding process into distinct stages: parental line selection, controlled crossing, progeny evaluation, and commercial variety development. Each stage focuses on specific traits (e.g., yield in one generation, disease resistance in another), allowing systematic combination of multiple desirable traits while managing process complexity through structured, modular breeding protocols

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If stable and uniform soybean cultivars are developed, then grain production is maximized, but achieving uniformity requires extensive testing and selection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrain productionVSAvoidcultivar uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies feedback mechanisms by implementing multi-environment field trials and performance monitoring across different locations and years. Uniformity and stability of the developed cultivars are continuously evaluated against established standards, with data fed back into the selection process to refine and confirm genetic consistency. This feedback loop ensures that only cultivars demonstrating stable, uniform performance under varying conditions are released for commercial production

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
