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 plants.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of soybean cultivar S170076, 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, enabling the creation of superior soybean hybrids and variants.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the cultivar achieves stability and uniformity, but the process takes 6-12 years and is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecultivar stabilityVSAvoidbreeding process time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss 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. This advance preparation and screening of parents accelerates the breeding process while maintaining cultivar stability in the final product.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional crossing methods are used to introduce desirable traits, then trait combination is achieved, but resource efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination capabilityVSAvoidbreeding resource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical crossing methods with molecular marker-assisted selection and genomic evaluation systems. This substitution enables more efficient tracking and combination of desirable traits through genetic analysis, improving resource efficiency while maintaining the ability to combine multiple traits.

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

3Manufacturing precision

If extensive breeding trials are conducted to evaluate new cultivars, then trait performance is verified, but the complexity of the breeding program increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait evaluation accuracyVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces molecular markers and genomic prediction models as intermediaries between traditional phenotypic evaluation and final cultivar selection. These intermediaries provide earlier and more precise prediction of trait performance, reducing the need for extensive multi-year field trials while maintaining evaluation accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
