Solution Overview

Problem

The development of new soybean varieties is a time-consuming process requiring precise planning and efficient resource use, aiming to combine desirable traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved agronomic characteristics, while existing methods are limited in efficiently introducing new traits into existing varieties.

Innovation Solution

The soybean variety XB10D11 is developed through careful breeding and selection, combining traits like disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved agronomic characteristics, with methods for introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and using genetic marker profiles for identification and breeding.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean varieties, then desirable traits can be combined, but the process is time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination reliabilityVSAvoidbreeding process duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical breeding methods (manual crossing, selection, and evaluation) with molecular marker-based identification systems. By using DNA markers to track desirable traits, the breeding process transitions from phenotype-based selection to genotype-based selection, significantly reducing time and resource requirements while maintaining trait combination reliability

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces molecular markers as intermediary tools that mediate between the desired traits and the breeding process. These markers serve as indirect indicators of desirable traits, allowing breeders to identify and select plants with desired characteristics without waiting for phenotypic expression, thereby accelerating the breeding process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If new traits are introduced into existing soybean varieties, then variety improvement is achieved, but the complexity of the breeding program increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait diversityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the breeding program into distinct modular components: marker development, marker validation, trait identification, and variety improvement. This segmentation allows each component to be developed and optimized independently, reducing overall program complexity while enabling the introduction of multiple diverse traits through systematic, stepwise implementation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
