Solution Overview

Problem

Existing soybean varieties lack improved combinations of traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, and nutritional quality, making it challenging to develop stable and high-yielding soybean varieties that meet agronomic and nutritional demands.

Innovation Solution

Development of the soybean variety 01098337, which includes genetic modifications for herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality through methods like genome editing using engineered nucleases, and breeding techniques such as backcrossing and hybridization to combine desirable traits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional breeding methods are used, then existing soybean varieties can be 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 (herbicide tolerance, disease resistance, and high seed yield) into a single soybean variety through genetic modification and breeding techniques, resolving the contradiction by merging previously separate trait improvements into one integrated variety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If genetic modifications are introduced to improve traits, then herbicide tolerance and disease resistance are enhanced, 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 genome editing technologies (engineered nucleases) to replace traditional, complex mechanical breeding processes with more precise molecular-level modifications, thereby achieving trait improvement with reduced procedural complexity

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

3Productivity

If multiple traits are combined in a single variety, then agronomic quality and nutritional quality are improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring these traits increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic qualityVSAvoidtrait measurement difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes molecular marker technology to provide feedback mechanisms for detecting and measuring multiple traits simultaneously, enabling breeders to monitor genetic modifications and trait expressions with increased precision and reduced difficulty

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
