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 agronomic characteristics, while existing methods face challenges in achieving stability and uniformity across different environments.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of the soybean variety XBP05005R, which has been bred to combine improved traits like resistance to diseases, insects, and abiotic stresses, along with enhanced yield and agronomic characteristics, through a comprehensive breeding program involving selection and backcrossing to ensure stability and uniformity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then trait combination is achieved, but the development process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoiddevelopment process duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the breeding process by developing inbred lines with specific traits separately, then systematically combining them through controlled crosses. This segmentation allows parallel development of multiple trait combinations, reducing overall development time while maintaining systematic trait integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by developing and stabilizing inbred lines with desired traits before combining them. The inbred lines are pre-characterized for specific traits (disease resistance, yield, maturity), allowing efficient selection and combination without restarting the breeding process for each new variety development.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If multiple generations of breeding and selection are performed to ensure stability and uniformity, then trait stability is improved, but the breeding program complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait stabilityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation and selection at each breeding generation. Performance data from field trials and laboratory assessments feed back into selection decisions, allowing optimization of breeding paths while maintaining trait stability. This feedback loop reduces unnecessary generations by identifying superior lines earlier.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes key parameters such as selection intensity, population size, and evaluation criteria at different breeding stages. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the program maintains trait stability without requiring excessive generations, thereby reducing overall program complexity while achieving desired uniformity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
