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 within a reasonable timeframe.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean cultivar S100315, 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 genetic transformation and breeding techniques to introduce desired traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and modified fatty acid metabolism.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the resulting cultivar has stable and comprehensive trait integration, but the development process takes 6-12 years and is highly time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait integration stabilityVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-introducing desired traits through genetic transformation in the parental lines before crossing. The transgenic parents already possess the target traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid profile) before the cross is made, eliminating the need for multiple generations of backcrossing and selection that would otherwise be required to introduce these traits through traditional breeding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses transgenic technology as an intermediary mechanism to directly introduce desired traits into the breeding program. Instead of relying on natural variation and traditional selection, molecular biology techniques serve as an intermediary to precisely transfer specific genes controlling desirable traits, thereby accelerating the breeding process while maintaining trait stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If traditional breeding methods are used to introduce new traits, then genetic stability is maintained, but the process requires multiple generations and is inefficient for rapid trait introduction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic stabilityVSAvoidtrait introduction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The desired traits are preliminarily introduced into parental lines through genetic transformation before the cross is made. This allows the traits to be present in the F1 generation without requiring multiple generations of backcrossing, thereby maintaining genetic stability while dramatically improving the efficiency of trait introduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of trait introduction from gradual (through multiple generations of traditional breeding) to immediate (through transgenic technology). By altering the method of trait introduction at the molecular level, the patent achieves both genetic stability and high productivity in trait development.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple crosses and selections are performed to achieve desired traits, then comprehensive trait combination is achieved, but resource consumption and process complexity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination comprehensivenessVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-combining desired traits in transgenic parental lines through genetic transformation. This eliminates the need for complex multi-generational crossing and selection schemes, as the F1 generation directly inherits the pre-combined traits, thereby reducing process complexity while maintaining comprehensive trait combination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Molecular biology techniques serve as an intermediary to directly combine and transfer multiple desired traits into parental lines before crossing. This intermediary approach replaces complex traditional breeding schemes with a more straightforward transgenic strategy, reducing overall process complexity while achieving comprehensive trait combination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding approaches are used, then natural genetic variation is utilized, but the speed of cultivar development is insufficient to meet market demands

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic diversity utilizationVSAvoidcultivar development speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces molecular biology techniques as an intermediary to accelerate trait introduction while still utilizing natural genetic variation. Transgenic technology serves as a bridge between natural genetic resources and rapid cultivar development, enabling the speed required to meet market demands without completely abandoning natural genetic diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of development speed from the slow pace of traditional breeding (6-12 years) to a much faster pace enabled by transgenic technology. By altering the method of trait introduction at the molecular level, the patent achieves rapid cultivar development that can respond to market demands while still utilizing natural genetic variation as the source of desired traits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
