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 S110145, which is developed through crossing and mutagenesis or transformation, incorporating traits like resistance to glyphosate herbicides and improved agronomic characteristics, along with methods for producing regenerable cells for tissue culture and introgressing transgenic or mutant traits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to develop new cultivars with multiple desirable traits, then the cultivar can achieve high seed yield, disease resistance, and tolerance to abiotic stresses, but the development process takes 6-12 years and requires significant resource investment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecultivar performanceVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-screening and selecting parental germplasm with specific desirable traits (high seed yield, disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance) before crossing. This advance preparation of parental material with known desirable characteristics accelerates the breeding process while ensuring the resulting cultivar inherits these reliable performance traits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single cultivar through traditional breeding, then the cultivar achieves superior agronomic quality and yield, but the breeding process requires precise forward planning and efficient resource management with minimum changes in direction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex breeding process into distinct stages: parental selection, crossing, progeny evaluation, and cultivar development. Each stage focuses on specific traits and requires particular resource allocations, allowing for systematic management of the breeding program's complexity while achieving multiple desirable trait combinations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies universality by developing a standardized breeding program framework that can be applied across different soybean cultivar developments. The same general approach—parental selection, controlled crossing, systematic evaluation—can be used to achieve various trait combinations (yield, disease resistance, stress tolerance), making the breeding methodology universally applicable rather than requiring unique approaches for each cultivar.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If soybean cultivars are developed to maximize grain production and supply food, then the amount of grain produced on land is increased, but the breeding process requires continuous selection and development of plants with superior traits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrain yieldVSAvoidselection process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by utilizing the natural genetic variation and inheritance patterns of soybean plants to facilitate selection. The breeding program leverages the plants' own biological characteristics and trait inheritance to identify superior individuals, reducing the need for complex external intervention while maximizing grain production potential through natural selection processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
