Solution Overview

Problem

Existing soybean varieties lack improved combinations of traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, and nutritional quality, which are essential for maximizing grain production and meeting agronomic and nutritional demands.

Innovation Solution

Development of the novel soybean variety 01098301, which includes genetic modifications for herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional content, achieved through a breeding process involving cross-pollination and genetic engineering techniques like CRISPR/Cas9 to introduce specific traits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional breeding methods are used, then existing soybean varieties are maintained, but they lack improved combinations of traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, and herbicide tolerance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidseed yield
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, high seed yield, and improved nutritional quality) into a single soybean variety through genetic modification and selective breeding, creating a unified genotype that expresses all these traits simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If genetic modifications are introduced for herbicide resistance and disease resistance, then tolerance to herbicides and resistance to diseases improve, but the complexity of the breeding process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveherbicide toleranceVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs modern biotechnological tools including CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, molecular marker-assisted selection, and tissue culture techniques to replace traditional, labor-intensive conventional breeding methods, thereby reducing the complexity and time required to develop varieties with multiple desired traits

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Productivity

If focus is placed on higher seed yield, then grain production increases, but other important traits such as disease resistance and nutritional quality may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrain productionVSAvoidnutritional quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a soybean variety that simultaneously performs multiple functions: producing high seed yield, providing disease resistance, offering herbicide tolerance, and maintaining improved nutritional quality, making the variety universally applicable for both productivity and quality requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
