Solution Overview

Problem

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

Innovation Solution

The soybean variety XB17V11 is developed through careful breeding and selection, combining traits like disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved agronomic characteristics, and methods for introgressing new traits into this variety using backcrossing and transgenic approaches are employed to enhance its genetic makeup.

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 stabilityVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing a standardized breeding protocol and germplasm collection before actual breeding begins. The breeding program is designed with predetermined steps for trait selection, crossing, and evaluation, allowing efficient progression through the 6-12 year breeding cycle without unnecessary delays or redesigns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements universality by creating a multi-functional breeding platform that can simultaneously pursue multiple breeding objectives (yield improvement, disease resistance, stress tolerance, fatty acid profile modification) using a unified approach. The same breeding protocol serves multiple purposes across different trait categories, optimizing resource use throughout the breeding program.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If comprehensive breeding objectives are pursued simultaneously, then superior varieties can be developed, but program complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination capabilityVSAvoidbreeding program structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the comprehensive breeding objectives into distinct modules: yield traits, disease resistance traits, stress tolerance traits, and quality traits (fatty acid profiles). Each module can be addressed independently through specific germplasm selection and breeding strategies, making the overall complex program manageable and systematic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements merging by integrating multiple breeding strategies into a unified protocol that combines traditional cross-breeding with modern molecular markers and genomic selection. This synthesis allows simultaneous pursuit of multiple objectives while reducing operational complexity through standardized procedures and shared resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If new traits are introduced into existing varieties, then variety improvement is achieved, but the process requires precise planning and resource efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety development efficiencyVSAvoidtrait introgression difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the intermediary principle by using molecular markers and genomic selection tools as mediators between the desired new traits and the existing variety background. These intermediaries enable precise tracking and selection of traits during introgression, significantly simplifying the complex process of introducing new characteristics while maintaining variety stability and improving development efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
