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 are limited in efficiently introducing these traits into soybean germplasm.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean cultivar S170061, which involves crossing with itself or other cultivars, and the use of transgenic or mutant traits through methods like mutagenesis or transformation, along with tissue culture techniques to produce regenerable cells and plants with specific characteristics, such as herbicide resistance and improved agronomic traits.

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, fatty acid profiles) before crossing. The parental germplasm is carefully chosen and prepared in advance, with known genetic characteristics, to accelerate the breeding process while ensuring the stability and uniformity of the resulting cultivar S170061.

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, evaluating F1 and F2 generations for trait inheritance, and stabilizing the cultivar. This segmented approach allows systematic combination of multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, yield, fatty acid profile) while managing program complexity through structured methodology.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If precise forward planning is implemented in cultivar development, then resource efficiency improves, but the requirement for detailed trait analysis and selection increases program complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource efficiencyVSAvoidselection program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies feedback by implementing systematic evaluation and selection criteria at each breeding stage. Performance data from field trials, disease resistance assessments, and fatty acid profile analyses are collected and used to guide subsequent breeding decisions. This feedback mechanism ensures efficient resource allocation while managing selection program complexity through data-driven decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
