Solution Overview

Problem

Current soybean cultivar development is time-consuming and resource-intensive, aiming to combine desirable traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved fatty acid profile, but existing methods are inefficient in achieving stable and uniform high-yielding cultivars with enhanced agronomic quality.

Innovation Solution

Development of a new soybean cultivar S110139, which includes methods for introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, using regenerable cells in tissue culture, and crossing with other cultivars to produce superior F1 hybrid seeds, along with genetic modification techniques to enhance traits like glyphosate resistance and disease resistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional soybean cultivar development methods are used, then multiple desirable traits can be combined in a cultivar, but the process takes 6-12 years and is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination of desirable traitsVSAvoidcultivar development time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing parental germplasm with specific desirable traits (disease resistance, yield potential, stress tolerance) before crossing. This advance preparation of parental lines with known trait profiles accelerates the breeding process by eliminating later screening steps, directly reducing the 6-12 year development timeline while maintaining trait combination capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop high-yielding cultivars, then grain production can be maximized, but the process requires extensive resources and is inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrain productionVSAvoidbreeding process resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical/physical breeding methods (repeated crossing, field selection, phenotypic screening) with molecular marker-assisted selection and genomic evaluation. This substitution of biological-mechanical processes with molecular diagnostic tools reduces resource consumption by enabling precise trait identification without extensive field trials, while maintaining high-yielding cultivar development

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Stability of the object's composition

If conventional breeding approaches are used, then stable and uniform cultivars can be achieved, but the process requires precise forward planning and minimum changes in direction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecultivar uniformityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through molecular marker tracking and genomic selection that provide real-time information on trait inheritance and cultivar uniformity. This feedback system allows breeders to make data-driven decisions at each generation, ensuring stable and uniform cultivars while reducing program complexity by replacing intuitive decision-making with objective genetic data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
