Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge in soybean breeding is to develop stable, high-yielding varieties that are resistant to diseases, insects, and abiotic stresses, with improved fatty acid profiles and agronomic characteristics, while also being efficient in resource use and time-consuming processes.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety XBP27004, which combines desirable traits such as disease resistance, improved fatty acid composition, and abiotic stress tolerance through careful breeding and selection, along with methods for introgressing new traits using backcrossing and transgenic approaches.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to develop new varieties with multiple desirable traits, then the variety stability and trait uniformity are improved, but the breeding time and resource consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidbreeding time
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by conducting extensive preliminary screening and selection of parental lines before the actual breeding process. The breeders identified and selected specific parental varieties (e.g., PI 437654, PI 548402) that already possess desired traits such as SCN resistance and high yield potential, thereby reducing the time required for subsequent breeding generations to achieve stable varieties with multiple desirable traits

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple breeding cycles are performed to combine desirable traits from different parental lines, then the trait combination completeness is improved, but the resource consumption and process complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination completenessVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding process into distinct phases: (1) selection of parental lines with specific trait combinations, (2) initial crossing to combine major traits, (3) subsequent backcrossing and selection for trait stabilization, and (4) final variety development. This segmented approach allows systematic combination of multiple traits (SCN resistance, yield, oil content, protein content) while managing process complexity through structured progression

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If extensive field testing and evaluation are conducted to ensure variety performance, then the variety reliability and performance consistency are improved, but the time and resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety performance reliabilityVSAvoidbreeding efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies feedback through systematic evaluation and selection processes at each breeding stage. Field testing data on yield, disease resistance, and compositional traits are continuously collected and used to guide selection decisions. This feedback mechanism ensures that only varieties meeting performance thresholds proceed to the next stage, maintaining reliability while optimizing resource use by eliminating underperforming lines early

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
