Soybean Cultivar S140156 Breeding Acceleration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The development of new soybean cultivars is a time-consuming process that requires precise planning and efficient resource use, aiming to combine desirable traits such as high seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved fatty acid profile, while existing methods are limited in efficiently introducing transgenic or mutant traits into soybean cultivars.
Innovation Solution
The introduction of soybean cultivar S140156, which allows for methods like selfing, backcrossing, and transformation to introduce transgenic or mutant traits, along with the use of regenerable cells in tissue culture for producing plants with specific characteristics, such as resistance to glufosinate herbicides and improved agronomic traits.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean cultivars, then desirable traits can be combined, but the process takes 6-12 years and requires extensive resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-screening and selecting parental germplasm with specific desirable traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, yield characteristics) before crossing. This preliminary selection and preparation of parental lines with known trait profiles accelerates the breeding process while ensuring reliable trait combination in the final cultivar.
2Reliability
If multiple breeding steps are performed to combine desirable traits, then superior varieties are achieved, but the process becomes complex and requires precise planning
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding process into distinct stages: parental selection, crossing, progeny evaluation, and cultivar development. Each stage focuses on specific traits and objectives, making the overall complex process more manageable and easier to plan precisely while achieving superior variety outcomes.
3Reliability
If conventional breeding methods are used, then new cultivars can be developed, but resource efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies mechanics substitution by replacing traditional mechanical breeding methods with molecular marker-assisted selection and genomic evaluation tools. This substitution allows for more efficient tracking of desirable traits through generations, reducing the need for extensive field trials and physical manipulation of large plant populations, thereby improving resource efficiency while maintaining development success.
