Solution Overview

Problem

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

Innovation Solution

Development of the soybean cultivar S130091, which involves crossing, mutagenesis, and transformation to introduce transgenic traits for improved traits such as glyphosate resistance, disease resistance, and altered fatty acid profiles, along with regenerable tissue culture methods for consistent production.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then stable and uniform high-yielding cultivars can be developed, but the process takes 6-12 years and requires significant resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability and uniformity of cultivarVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-screening parental lines for desirable traits (disease resistance, yield potential, fatty acid profiles) before crossing. This advance preparation and selection of germplasm with specific characteristics accelerates the breeding process while ensuring the resulting cultivar inherits stable and uniform desirable traits from carefully selected parents.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If traditional breeding methods are used to achieve improved seed yield and disease resistance, then desirable traits can be combined, but the resource requirements and time investment are excessive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidbreeding program duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation and selection at multiple stages of the breeding process. Performance data on seed yield, disease resistance, and other traits are continuously monitored and fed back into the selection decisions, allowing rapid identification and advancement of superior lines while eliminating inferior ones, thus accelerating productivity improvement without excessive time investment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Manufacturing precision

If conventional breeding approaches are used to improve fatty acid profile and agronomic quality, then trait combinations can be achieved, but the process is inefficient and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefatty acid profile compositionVSAvoidbreeding process efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by focusing on specific genetic markers and biochemical parameters associated with fatty acid profile composition. By monitoring and selecting based on these defined parameters (oleic acid content, linoleic acid content, saturation levels), the breeding process achieves precise control over fatty acid composition while improving efficiency through targeted selection rather than broad phenotypic screening.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
