Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
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 higher 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 S170106, which is developed through crossing and mutagenesis or transformation, incorporating traits like herbicide resistance and improved agronomic qualities, and can be used in various breeding methods including selfing, backcrosses, and hybrid production to produce superior soybean hybrid seeds.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the cultivar achieves improved yield and disease resistance, but the development process takes 6-12 years and requires extensive resources
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 breeding program begins with careful selection of germplasm that possesses the traits needed to meet program goals, and conducts preliminary evaluations of parental performance to predict progeny outcomes, thereby reducing the overall development time while maintaining reliability of trait inheritance
2Productivity
If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single cultivar, then the agronomic quality and yield are improved, but the breeding program complexity and resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases: parental line selection, crossing, progeny evaluation, and cultivar development. Each phase focuses on specific traits (e.g., disease resistance in parental selection, yield in progeny evaluation), allowing the breeding program to manage complexity systematically while combining multiple desirable traits in the final cultivar
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by selecting parental lines that excel in specific local conditions or for specific purposes (e.g., disease resistance in certain regions, particular fatty acid profiles for specific markets). This allows different regions or applications to benefit from locally optimized traits while maintaining overall program efficiency
3Productivity
If precise forward planning and resource management are implemented, then the breeding process efficiency is improved, but the initial planning time and administrative burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by establishing detailed breeding programs with defined objectives, selected parental lines, and evaluation criteria before initiating crosses. This upfront planning identifies resource requirements and timelines in advance, allowing efficient execution of the breeding program while the initial planning time is invested once rather than repeatedly during the breeding process
