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 S170005, which is developed through crossing and mutagenesis, incorporating traits like resistance to glyphosate and isoxaflutole herbicides, and possessing improved agronomic characteristics, allowing for the creation of superior soybean hybrids and variants through methods like selfing, backcrossing, and tissue culture.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to develop new cultivars, then desirable traits can be combined, but the process takes 6-12 years and is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination reliabilityVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by developing and maintaining a pre-characterized germplasm repository with known genetic markers and traits before breeding begins. This allows breeders to select parental lines with desired traits more efficiently, reducing the overall breeding cycle time while maintaining trait combination reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback through molecular marker-assisted selection systems that provide real-time information on trait inheritance and genetic composition during the breeding process. This feedback mechanism allows for early identification of desirable trait combinations, enabling faster selection decisions and reducing the breeding cycle from 6-12 years

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Manufacturing precision

If extensive germplasm screening is performed to find desirable traits, then better cultivars can be developed, but resource efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecultivar quality precisionVSAvoidbreeding resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical/visual phenotypic screening methods with molecular marker-based genetic analysis systems. This substitution allows for precise identification of desirable traits at the DNA level, significantly reducing the time and resources required for germplasm screening while improving selection accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of trait detection from phenotypic observation to genotypic analysis using molecular markers. This parameter change enables early-stage identification of desirable traits without requiring full plant development, reducing resource consumption while maintaining high selection precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
