Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current soybean breeding processes are time-consuming and resource-intensive, aiming to develop stable, high-yielding varieties with desirable traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved fatty acid profiles, while existing methods face challenges in efficiently combining these traits in a single variety.
Innovation Solution
The development of the soybean variety XB37E13, which combines improved traits through careful breeding and selection, including resistance to diseases and abiotic stresses, with methods for introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and utilizing genetic marker profiles for characterization and breeding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then the variety achieves stability and uniformity, but the breeding process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing parental lines with comprehensive genetic marker profiles before crossing. This allows breeders to select parents with complementary traits and predict progeny outcomes, reducing the time required for multi-generation testing while maintaining variety stability and uniformity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single variety through breeding, then the variety achieves superior agronomic characteristics, but the complexity of the breeding program increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases: parental line characterization, controlled crossing, progeny selection, and variety development. Each phase uses specific genetic marker profiles to track particular traits, making the complex process of combining multiple desirable traits more manageable and systematic.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies universality by using a standardized genetic marker profiling system that can simultaneously assess multiple traits across different parental lines and progeny. This multi-functional approach allows a single breeding program to track disease resistance, yield characteristics, and other agronomic traits using the same methodological framework.
3Manufacturing precision
If comprehensive trait assessment is performed during breeding, then the variety achieves superior agronomic characteristics, but the resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies mechanics substitution by replacing traditional mechanical phenotypic assessment methods with molecular genetic marker profiling. This substitution enables precise trait selection at the DNA level, reducing the need for extensive field testing and resource consumption while achieving superior agronomic characteristics through accurate trait identification.
