Solution Overview

Problem

The development of stable, high-yielding soybean varieties that are agronomically sound and resistant to various environmental stresses and diseases is a time-consuming process, requiring precise planning and efficient resource utilization, with existing methods struggling to combine multiple desirable traits effectively.

Innovation Solution

The soybean variety XBP18010R is developed through careful breeding, combining traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved agronomic characteristics, with methods for introgressing transgenic, mutant, or native traits to enhance its performance across different conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then disease resistance and yield improvement can be achieved, but the breeding process becomes extremely time-consuming (6-12 years)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing parental lines for multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, yield components, agronomic characteristics) before crossing. This allows breeders to select parents with known trait profiles, reducing the time needed for trait combination and validation in later generations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback through systematic evaluation and characterization of breeding lines at multiple stages. By measuring and recording trait expression in parental lines, F1 hybrids, and subsequent generations, breeders can make informed decisions about which lines to advance, accelerating the breeding process while maintaining reliability of desired traits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single variety through extensive breeding, then agronomic performance improves, but the complexity of the breeding program increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic performanceVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases: parental line characterization, F1 hybrid evaluation, and advanced generation testing. Each phase focuses on specific traits and uses targeted evaluation methods, reducing overall program complexity while achieving comprehensive trait combination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements universality by developing a multi-purpose evaluation system that assesses multiple traits (yield, disease resistance, agronomic characteristics) using integrated measurement protocols. This universal approach allows a single breeding program to simultaneously improve multiple traits without requiring separate specialized programs for each trait.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If precise planning and efficient resource use are implemented in breeding programs, then development time is reduced, but the precision required for trait selection and evaluation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety development efficiencyVSAvoidtrait evaluation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional subjective visual evaluation with objective measurement systems for trait assessment. By using standardized, quantifiable methods to evaluate disease resistance, yield components, and agronomic characteristics, the program achieves high measurement precision that enables efficient selection decisions without requiring excessive planning complexity.

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