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 a novel soybean variety, XBP18005, which is the result of careful breeding and selection, combining traits like resistance to aerial web blight, aphid antibiosis, and improved fatty acid profiles, through a process involving cross-pollination and introgression of transgenic or mutant traits, with methods for producing and characterizing the variety and its derived plant parts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

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

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-screening and selecting parental lines with specific desirable traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, improved fatty acid profiles) before crossing. This preliminary selection and characterization of parent plants accelerates the breeding process by ensuring that only genetically superior lines are combined, reducing the time required for multiple generations of selection and testing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If multiple generations of selection and crossing are performed to achieve stable varieties, then variety stability is improved, but the development process requires extensive resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation and characterization of breeding lines at each generation. Performance data from field trials, disease resistance screenings, and compositional analysis are fed back into the selection process to guide subsequent crossing decisions. This feedback loop ensures that only the most promising lines advance, optimizing resource allocation and reducing the quantity of materials and resources consumed during the breeding process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If careful breeding and selection are conducted to combine improved traits, then desirable traits are achieved, but the process requires precise planning and efficient resource use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait inheritanceVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct, manageable phases: parental line selection, controlled crossing, F1 generation evaluation, backcrossing, and variety stabilization. Each phase has specific objectives and selection criteria, making the complex breeding process more controllable and predictable. This segmentation improves reliability of trait inheritance by ensuring that each generation is properly evaluated before proceeding to the next stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
