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 higher seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved fatty acid profiles, while existing methods are inefficient in achieving these goals.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean cultivar S130097, which is developed through crossing and mutagenesis, incorporating traits like resistance to glyphosate herbicides and disease resistance, and can be used in various breeding methods including selfing, backcrosses, and transformation to produce plants with superior characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the cultivar achieves improved yield and disease resistance, but the development process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding process duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing parental lines with specific desirable traits (disease resistance, yield potential, fatty acid profiles) before crossing. The parental germplasm is evaluated and prepared in advance with known characteristics, allowing the breeding program to start from a optimized foundation rather than exploring random combinations, thus reducing the overall time required to develop superior cultivars

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If multiple breeding cycles are performed to achieve stable high-yielding cultivars, then the agronomic quality improves, but the development timeline extends to 6-12 years

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidcultivar development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by conducting preliminary evaluation of parental lines for yield potential and agronomic quality before initiating crosses. This pre-characterization allows breeders to select parents that are more likely to produce high-yielding offspring, reducing the number of breeding cycles needed to achieve stable high-yielding cultivars and thereby shortening the overall development timeline

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation and selection at multiple stages of the breeding process. Performance data from earlier generations (yield, disease resistance, quality traits) feed into selection decisions for subsequent generations, allowing rapid identification and advancement of superior lines. This feedback-driven approach accelerates the breeding cycle by eliminating inferior lines early and concentrating resources on promising candidates

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If extensive crossing and selection is performed to combine multiple desirable traits, then the cultivar achieves superior agronomic quality, but the resource requirements and program complexity increase

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex breeding program into distinct modules: parental line selection, controlled crosses, F1 evaluation, backcrossing, and final cultivar development. Each module focuses on specific traits and has defined entry/exit criteria. This segmentation allows the breeding program to manage complexity systematically while still achieving comprehensive trait combination through coordinated execution of discrete breeding operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
