Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current soybean breeding methods face challenges in developing stable, high-yielding varieties with improved traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and herbicide resistance, which are difficult to predict and require extensive research efforts due to the complexity of genetic combinations and environmental factors.
Innovation Solution
The development of the soybean variety 01078115, which includes specific genetic modifications and locus conversions, such as those conferring herbicide resistance and disease resistance, achieved through genetic transformation and backcrossing techniques, allowing for the introduction of desired traits while maintaining the overall morphological and physiological characteristics of the soybean.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional breeding methods are used to develop soybean varieties with improved traits, then genetic diversity and trait combinations can be explored, but the process becomes time-consuming and unpredictable due to the complexity of genetic combinations and environmental factors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting parental lines with desired traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, yield characteristics) before crossing. The breeding program systematically evaluates parental germplasm for specific traits and performs controlled crosses to combine these pre-identified desirable characteristics, reducing the time required compared to traditional random breeding approaches.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback through systematic evaluation and selection processes at multiple stages of the breeding program. Performance data from field trials, laboratory assessments, and agronomic evaluations are collected and used to guide subsequent crossing decisions and selection choices, allowing the breeding program to iteratively improve varieties based on measured outcomes rather than relying solely on random genetic recombination over many generations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple traits are combined in a single soybean variety to meet program goals, then the variety becomes more versatile and productive, but the breeding process becomes more complex and difficult to manage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases and components: parental line selection, controlled crossing, F1 generation evaluation, backcrossing procedures, and multi-location field trials. Each phase focuses on specific traits or objectives, allowing the complex task of combining multiple traits to be managed through systematic breakdown into manageable steps rather than attempting to address all traits simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs universality by developing a standardized breeding protocol that can be applied across different parental combinations and trait objectives. The same general procedures for crossing, evaluation, and selection are used whether the goal is herbicide resistance, disease resistance, or yield improvement, allowing the breeding program to efficiently combine multiple traits using a unified approach rather than requiring separate specialized processes for each trait type.
