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 S170035, which is developed through crossing and mutagenesis, incorporating traits like resistance to glyphosate and isoxaflutole herbicides, and disease resistance, along with improved agronomic characteristics, using methods like backcrossing and genetic transformation to introduce desired traits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used, then existing cultivars can be maintained, but new cultivars with improved traits take 6-12 years to develop

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecultivar development speedVSAvoidtime required for cultivar development
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and pre-characterizing parent lines with desirable traits before initiating the breeding program. The parent lines are evaluated for yield potential, disease resistance, and fatty acid profiles in advance, allowing the actual crossing and selection processes to proceed more efficiently once initiated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation of breeding progress at multiple stages. Performance data from field trials and laboratory analyses are continuously monitored and used to adjust breeding strategies, selecting only the most promising lines for advancement while eliminating less suitable candidates to accelerate the overall development timeline.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

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

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination capabilityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex breeding program into distinct phases: parent line selection, crossing design, F1 generation evaluation, F2 population development, and final cultivar selection. Each phase focuses on specific traits and has defined objectives, making the overall complex process more manageable and systematic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs multi-functionality by using a unified breeding platform that can simultaneously pursue multiple traits (yield, disease resistance, fatty acid composition) through a single integrated approach. The same breeding methodology and evaluation systems are applied across different trait categories, reducing the need for separate specialized programs.

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

3Productivity

If resource allocation is optimized for cultivar development, then breeding efficiency improves, but planning precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreeding efficiencyVSAvoidforward planning precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by establishing clear breeding objectives and selecting parent lines before committing resources to the breeding program. This advance preparation allows for optimized resource allocation as the program progresses, since the direction and priorities are already determined through preliminary analysis and selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor resource utilization and breeding progress, allowing for dynamic adjustment of resource allocation. Performance data from field trials and laboratory analyses provide feedback that refines planning precision over time, enabling more accurate resource distribution as the program evolves.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
