Soybean Cultivar S170047 Breeding Efficiency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The development of new soybean cultivars is a time-consuming process that requires precise planning and efficient resource use, aiming to combine desirable traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved fatty acid profile, while existing methods struggle to efficiently introduce and stabilize these traits in a single cultivar.
Innovation Solution
The introduction of soybean cultivar S170047, which includes methods for crossing, mutagenesis, and transformation to introduce transgenic or mutant traits, such as herbicide resistance and disease resistance, and the use of regenerable cells in tissue culture to produce plants with specific characteristics, allowing for the creation of superior soybean hybrids and variants.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean cultivars, then desirable traits can be combined in a single cultivar, but the process takes six to twelve years and requires precise forward planning with minimum changes in direction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing parental germplasm with specific desirable traits (disease resistance, yield potential, fatty acid profile) before crossing. This advance preparation of parental lines with known characteristics allows the breeding program to proceed more efficiently toward the goal of combining multiple traits in a single cultivar, reducing the overall development time while maintaining trait stability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single cultivar through traditional breeding, then superior varieties can be developed, but the process requires efficient use of resources and a minimum of changes in direction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex breeding program into distinct phases: parental selection, crossing, progeny evaluation, and cultivar development. Each phase focuses on specific traits (e.g., disease resistance in one phase, yield in another), allowing systematic combination of multiple desirable traits while managing program complexity through structured organization of breeding activities.
3Productivity
If new soybean cultivars are developed to maximize grain production and supply food, then higher seed yield and disease resistance can be achieved, but the development process is time-consuming and resource-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies mechanics substitution by replacing traditional mechanical breeding methods with molecular marker-assisted selection and genomic evaluation tools. These modern biotechnological approaches allow for more precise and faster identification of plants with desired yield and disease resistance traits, accelerating cultivar development while maintaining or improving productivity outcomes.
