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, but face challenges in efficiently combining these traits in a single variety.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety XBP27002, which is the result of years of breeding and selection, combining traits like resistance to aerial blight, brown stem rot, and improved fatty acid composition, along with molecular marker profiles for identification and potential introgression of new traits through backcrossing or transformation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then the resulting variety achieves improved disease resistance and yield, but the breeding process becomes extremely time-consuming and resource-intensive

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by developing and maintaining a comprehensive collection of germplasm resources with characterized traits before actual breeding begins. This pre-prepared germplasm library allows breeders to quickly select and combine desired traits without starting from scratch, significantly reducing the time required to develop new varieties with multiple desirable characteristics including disease resistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The breeding process is segmented into distinct phases: germplasm collection and characterization, trait identification and selection, crossbreeding, and variety development. This segmentation allows parallel processing of different trait combinations and enables efficient resource allocation across multiple breeding projects simultaneously, reducing overall development time while maintaining reliable disease resistance traits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single soybean variety, then the variety achieves superior agronomic performance and yield, but the complexity of the breeding program increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universality by creating a standardized germplasm characterization system that can identify and evaluate multiple traits simultaneously across different germplasm accessions. This multi-functional assessment platform allows breeders to select for yield, disease resistance, and other agronomic traits in a single integrated process rather than separate breeding programs, reducing overall complexity while achieving superior multi-tradit variety performance.

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

Solution Approach 2:

Molecular markers serve as intermediaries that facilitate the combination of multiple desirable traits. These markers enable precise tracking and selection of specific trait alleles during crossbreeding, allowing breeders to efficiently combine yield-enhancing and disease-resistance traits without managing the full complexity of entire genomes, thereby simplifying the breeding program while achieving high productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If extensive germplasm collection and evaluation is conducted to identify desirable traits, then the quality and diversity of traits available for breeding improves, but the resources and time required for characterization increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait diversityVSAvoidresources required
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies copying by creating detailed molecular marker profiles and phenotypic characterizations of germplasm accessions that can be stored and reused across multiple breeding projects. Instead of re-characterizing the same germplasm repeatedly, these genetic blueprints serve as reusable templates, allowing rapid assessment of trait diversity and availability without repeating resource-intensive characterization processes, thus maintaining high adaptability while reducing resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
