Soybean Cultivar S140176 Breeding via Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
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 S140176, which is developed through crossing and mutagenesis, incorporating traits like glyphosate resistance and specific fatty acid modifications, and can be used in various breeding methods including selfing, backcrossing, and tissue culture to produce plants with superior characteristics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the cultivar will have improved agronomic quality, but the development process will take 6-12 years and require significant resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing parental lines with specific desirable traits (high seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, improved fatty acid profile) before crossing. This advance preparation of parental germplasm with defined characteristics accelerates the breeding process while ensuring the resulting cultivar S140176 inherits superior agronomic qualities.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single cultivar, then the overall performance is improved, but the breeding program complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases: selecting parental lines with specific traits, performing controlled crosses, evaluating F1 progeny for desired characteristics, and advancing superior lines through generations. This segmented approach to combining multiple traits (yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, fatty acid profile) manages program complexity while achieving versatile cultivar S140176.
