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 S170013, which is developed through crossing and mutagenesis, incorporating traits like resistance to glyphosate and isoxaflutole herbicides, and disease resistance, along with methods for introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, enabling the creation of superior soybean hybrids and variants.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

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 time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecultivar stabilityVSAvoidbreeding time
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss 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, stress tolerance) before crossing. This advance preparation and screening of parents accelerates the breeding process while ensuring the resulting cultivar inherits stable, uniform traits from well-characterized sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single cultivar, then the agronomic quality improves, but the breeding program complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases: selecting parental lines with specific traits, performing controlled crosses, screening F1 hybrids for desired characteristics, and advancing promising lines through systematic evaluation. This segmented approach to multi-trait breeding reduces program complexity by organizing the combination of multiple desirable traits into manageable, sequential steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Loss of energy

If precise forward planning is implemented in cultivar development, then resource efficiency improves, but the requirement for detailed planning and coordination increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource efficiencyVSAvoidplanning complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action through detailed advance planning of breeding programs, including pre-selection of parental lines with complementary traits, predetermined crossing schemes, and scheduled evaluation timelines. This preliminary organization of breeding activities optimizes resource allocation and reduces waste while managing planning complexity through systematic, pre-established protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
