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

Development of the soybean variety XBP20001, 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 comprehensive breeding program involving cross-pollination and backcrossing techniques to achieve stability and uniformity.

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 segments the breeding process into distinct phases: initial cross-pollination to combine traits from different parents, followed by backcrossing to stabilize individual traits. This segmentation allows systematic combination of multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, yield, fatty acid profile) while managing the time required for each trait stabilization step separately

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If multiple generations of breeding and selection are performed to achieve stability and uniformity, then trait stability is improved, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait stabilityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing careful selection and evaluation at each breeding generation to identify and propagate only the most promising lines. This preliminary filtering reduces the number of plants requiring further breeding cycles, thereby achieving trait stability with reduced resource consumption compared to breeding entire populations through multiple generations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
