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 profiles, while existing methods are inefficient in achieving these goals.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean cultivar S170002, which includes methods for crossing, mutagenesis, and transformation to introduce transgenic or mutant traits, such as resistance to glyphosate and isoxaflutole herbicides, and the use of regenerable cells in tissue culture 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 stability and uniformity, but the development process takes 6-12 years and is highly time-consuming

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting parental lines with specific desirable traits (high seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, improved fatty acid profiles) before crossing. This advance preparation and selection of parents with known characteristics accelerates the breeding process while maintaining cultivar stability and uniformity in the offspring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single cultivar, then the agronomic quality and yield are improved, but the breeding program complexity and resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple desirable traits (high seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, improved fatty acid profiles) into a single soybean cultivar through controlled crossing of parental lines that each contribute specific traits. This combining approach achieves superior agronomic quality and productivity while managing breeding program complexity through systematic trait integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The resulting soybean cultivar exhibits multi-functionality by simultaneously providing high seed yield, resistance to multiple diseases, tolerance to drought stress, and improved fatty acid composition. This universal cultivar meets multiple agronomic goals and production requirements in a single variety, reducing the need for separate breeding programs for each trait.

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

3Productivity

If precise forward planning and resource management are implemented in breeding programs, then the efficiency is improved, but the initial planning complexity and resource allocation requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreeding efficiencyVSAvoidprogram planning complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements precise forward planning by pre-defining breeding objectives, selecting appropriate parental lines with specific traits, and outlining the crossing and selection procedures before initiating the breeding program. This preliminary planning and resource allocation improve breeding efficiency by reducing delays and ensuring optimal use of materials and facilities throughout the 6-12 year development cycle.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
