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 XBP02003, which is the result of careful breeding and selection, combining traits such as resistance to diseases, insects, and abiotic stresses, with improved agronomic characteristics and fatty acid profiles, through a comprehensive breeding program involving cross-pollination and genetic marker-assisted selection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional 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

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidbreeding duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by using genetic marker-assisted selection during the breeding process to identify and select plants with desired traits before final variety development. This allows breeders to make informed selection decisions earlier in the breeding program, reducing the time required to develop stable varieties while maintaining reliability through systematic trait tracking

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single variety, then the variety achieves superior agronomic characteristics, but the breeding complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by breaking down the complex breeding program into distinct stages and components, including parental selection, controlled cross-pollination, and systematic evaluation of specific traits. This structured approach manages breeding complexity by organizing the multi-trait combination process into manageable segments that can be tracked and optimized independently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If extensive breeding and selection processes are implemented, then the variety achieves improved yield and resistance traits, but the resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidbreeding resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies mechanics substitution by replacing traditional, labor-intensive phenotypic selection methods with genetic marker-assisted selection. This molecular-level approach allows for more efficient identification of plants with desired traits, reducing the manual labor and resources required for extensive breeding and selection processes while maintaining or improving yield and resistance traits

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