Solution Overview

Problem

Current soybean breeding processes are time-consuming and resource-intensive, aiming to develop stable, high-yielding varieties with desirable traits like disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved fatty acid profiles, but face challenges in efficiently combining these traits in a single variety.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety XB02U10, which is the result of extensive breeding and selection, combining traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved agronomic characteristics, along with methods for producing and introgressing new traits through backcrossing and transgenic modification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding processes are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then disease resistance and drought tolerance can be achieved, but the breeding process becomes extremely time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding process time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing parental lines with specific desirable traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, fatty acid profiles) before crossing. This allows the breeding program to start with parents that already possess the target traits, reducing the time needed for trait combination and selection in subsequent generations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback through systematic evaluation and selection processes at multiple stages of breeding. Performance data from field trials and laboratory analyses are used to guide selection decisions, allowing breeders to efficiently identify and propagate plants that successfully combine multiple desirable traits, thereby reducing overall breeding time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If extensive breeding and selection are performed to combine multiple traits in a single variety, then agronomic soundness and yield are improved, but the complexity of the breeding program increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrain yieldVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases: parental line selection, controlled crossing, F1 generation evaluation, and selective backcrossing. Each phase focuses on specific objectives, allowing complex trait combination to be managed through systematic, manageable steps rather than simultaneous manipulation of all traits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by selecting parental lines with specific local excellences - one parent contributes disease resistance and drought tolerance, while the other contributes superior yield and fatty acid profile. This allows each parent to excel in specific traits, and the breeding program to combine these localized qualities into a single variety with comprehensive improvements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If backcrossing and transgenic modification methods are used to introgress new traits, then trait combination efficiency is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination efficiencyVSAvoidbreeding operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the intermediary principle by using controlled crossing and systematic selection as mediating processes between parental lines with different traits. These intermediary breeding operations facilitate the gradual combination of multiple traits through defined genetic pathways, making the complex process of trait introgression more manageable and predictable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
