Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

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:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoiddisease resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the genetic composition of soybean varieties through the introduction of specific genes (e.g., herbicide resistance genes, disease resistance genes) to alter the biological parameters of the plant, thereby achieving improved seed yield and disease resistance simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates composite genetic structures by combining multiple traits (herbicide tolerance, disease resistance, yield improvement) into single soybean varieties through genetic engineering and breeding programs, resulting in composite varieties that exhibit multiple improved characteristics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If conventional breeding methods are used, then existing soybean varieties are maintained, but they lack herbicide tolerance and disease resistance

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical breeding methods (cross-pollination, selection, and recombination over multiple generations) with genetic engineering techniques that directly introduce desired traits through gene transfer, significantly reducing the complexity and time of the breeding process

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses vectors (such as Agrobacterium or viral vectors) as intermediaries to transfer herbicide resistance genes and disease resistance genes into soybean plants, simplifying the breeding process by providing a direct gene delivery mechanism rather than relying on complex cross-breeding programs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If existing soybean varieties are used, then current agronomic quality is maintained, but they lack improved agronomic quality for maximizing grain production

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrain productionVSAvoidagronomic quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes agronomic parameters of soybean varieties by introducing genes that improve grain yield, protein content, and oil composition, thereby enhancing the overall agronomic quality and maximizing grain production potential

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
