Solution Overview

Problem

The development of new soybean cultivars is unpredictable and requires intensive research due to vast genetic diversity and self-pollination, making it challenging to produce consistent and desirable genetic traits for commercial use.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of specific soybean cultivars (CL1920562, CL1920645, CL1920541, CL1920755, CL1920650, CL1920544, CL1920822, CL1920804, CL1920763, and/or CL1920828) with transgenes for herbicide resistance, disease resistance, insect resistance, and altered oil profiles, along with a method for introducing desired traits using single locus conversion and breeding techniques like crossing, selection, and selfing to achieve desired morphological and physiological characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean cultivars, then genetic diversity is maintained, but the development process becomes unpredictable and requires intensive research

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic diversityVSAvoidpredictability of cultivar development
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the fundamental parameter of breeding approach from traditional cross-pollination and selection to genetic engineering with transgenes. This allows precise control over specific traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, insect resistance, oil profile) while maintaining the natural genetic background of the soybean cultivar, thereby achieving predictability without sacrificing genetic diversity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple breeding techniques are employed to achieve desired traits, then trait precision is improved, but the breeding program complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait precisionVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts specific desirable traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, insect resistance, oil profile characteristics) and introduces them as separate transgenes into the soybean cultivar. This allows each trait to be developed and optimized independently, then combined in a controlled manner, reducing the complexity of simultaneous multi-trait breeding while maintaining high trait precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
