Solution Overview

Problem

Existing soybean cultivars lack improved traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and altered fatty acid profiles, which are essential for enhancing agricultural productivity and nutritional value.

Innovation Solution

Development of a new soybean cultivar (25091511) with genetic modifications for herbicide resistance, disease tolerance, and improved fatty acid composition, achieved through methods like mutagenesis and transformation, combined with traditional breeding techniques to introduce desired traits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding is used, then existing cultivars can be maintained with current traits, but improved traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, and drought tolerance cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidseed yield
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, higher seed yield, and altered fatty acid profiles) into a single soybean cultivar through genetic modification and breeding programs, resolving the contradiction by merging previously separate trait improvements into one integrated variety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If genetic modifications and transformation methods are applied, then desired traits like herbicide resistance and altered fatty acid profiles can be introduced, but the development process becomes more complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveherbicide resistanceVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs genetic transformation as an intermediary method to introduce desired traits (herbicide resistance, altered fatty acid profiles) into soybean cultivars, simplifying the breeding process by using molecular biology techniques rather than traditional cross-breeding methods alone

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If multiple breeding steps and selection processes are implemented, then improved combination of desirable traits can be achieved, but the time required increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic qualityVSAvoidcultivar development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies genetic modification and transformation techniques as preliminary actions to introduce desirable traits early in the breeding process, reducing the overall time required for cultivar development by establishing improved traits before traditional breeding steps are completed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
