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 agronomic qualities, but face challenges in efficiently combining these traits in a single variety.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety XB35S07, which exhibits a valuable combination of traits such as multi-race Phytophthora resistance, resistance to Soybean Cyst Nematode race 3, above-average sudden death syndrome tolerance, and frogeye leaf spot tolerance, along with herbicide resistance, adapted for specific regions, through careful breeding and selection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding processes are used to develop new varieties, then desirable traits such as disease resistance and yield can be improved, but the development time and resource consumption increase significantly

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-screening parental lines for specific disease resistance traits (Phytophthora, SCN, Sudden Death Syndrome, Frogeye Leaf Spot) and herbicide tolerance before crossing. This preliminary selection of parents with known desirable traits accelerates the breeding process while ensuring the offspring inherit these resistance characteristics, reducing the time required for trait verification in later generations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple disease resistance traits are combined in a single soybean variety, then the overall resistance and yield potential improve, but the complexity of the breeding process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-trait resistanceVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple disease resistance traits (Phytophthora resistance, SCN race 3 resistance, Sudden Death Syndrome tolerance, and Frogeye Leaf Spot tolerance) along with herbicide tolerance into a single soybean variety through controlled crossing of parental lines that each contribute specific resistance genes. This combining approach creates a unified variety with comprehensive protection against multiple diseases and weeds, simplifying the overall disease management strategy for farmers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
