Solution Overview

Problem

Current soybean cultivar development is time-consuming and resource-intensive, aiming to combine desirable traits like high seed yield, disease resistance, and improved fatty acid profiles, but existing methods are inefficient in achieving stable and uniform cultivars with desired characteristics.

Innovation Solution

Development of the soybean cultivar S170119, which includes methods for introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, using regenerable cells in tissue culture, and crossing with other cultivars to produce superior F1 hybrid seeds, along with genetic modification techniques to enhance traits such as herbicide resistance and improved oil composition.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean cultivar development methods are used to combine desirable traits, then the resulting cultivars have improved agronomic quality, but the development process takes 6-12 years and requires significant resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic qualityVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting and characterizing parental germplasm with specific desirable traits (high seed yield, disease resistance, improved fatty acid profiles) before crossing. This advance preparation and screening of parent lines accelerates the breeding process by ensuring that crossing events are more likely to produce desired outcomes, reducing the overall development time while maintaining agronomic quality improvements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If multiple crossing and selection steps are performed to achieve stable and uniform cultivars, then the cultivar stability is improved, but the resource requirements and process complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecultivar stabilityVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation and selection at multiple stages of the breeding process. Parental germplasm is pre-characterized for specific traits, and progeny are evaluated against defined criteria for stability and uniformity. This feedback-driven selection process ensures cultivar stability while managing process complexity through structured, repeatable evaluation protocols rather than ad hoc breeding approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding methods are used to introduce transgenic or mutant traits, then the traits are successfully introgressed, but the time and resources required for cultivar development increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait introgressionVSAvoidbreeding efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses an intermediary approach by employing carefully selected parental germplasm that already possesses desired traits (such as herbicide resistance or improved fatty acid profiles) as mediators in crossing programs. This allows efficient introgression of transgenic or mutant traits through controlled crosses with pre-characterized parents, rather than introducing traits de novo into each breeding line, thereby improving breeding efficiency while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
