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 within a reasonable timeframe.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean cultivar S170019, which is developed through a process involving crossing, mutagenesis, and transformation to incorporate traits like glyphosate herbicide tolerance and disease resistance, allowing for the creation of regenerable cells for tissue culture and the production of superior soybean hybrids with specific characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional plant breeding methods are used to develop new soybean cultivars, then desirable traits such as disease resistance and improved fatty acid profiles can be combined, but the development process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the breeding process through molecular marker-assisted selection, which changes the selection parameter from phenotypic observation to genotypic detection, significantly reducing the time required to identify plants with desirable traits while maintaining reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent substitutes mechanical breeding methods with molecular biology techniques, replacing traditional phenotypic selection with DNA-based marker analysis, which accelerates the breeding process while ensuring accurate identification of disease resistance traits

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single cultivar through traditional breeding, then the cultivar becomes more complex, but the breeding process requires precise forward planning and efficient resource use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding process into distinct molecular marker-assisted selection steps for different traits, allowing independent selection and combination of disease resistance, fatty acid profile, and yield traits without increasing overall program complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements universality by developing a standardized molecular marker-assisted selection platform that can simultaneously evaluate multiple traits across different cultivars, reducing breeding program complexity while enabling combination of diverse desirable traits

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