Solution Overview

Problem

Current soybean breeding processes are time-consuming and resource-intensive, aiming to develop stable, high-yielding varieties with desirable traits like disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved fatty acid profiles, but face challenges in efficiently combining these traits in a single variety.

Innovation Solution

Development of the soybean variety XBP27010, which is the result of careful breeding and selection, combining traits such as resistance to aerial web blight, aphid antibiosis, and improved fatty acid profiles, through a comprehensive breeding program involving cross-pollination and genetic marker-assisted selection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to develop new varieties with multiple desirable traits, then the variety can achieve improved yield, disease resistance, and stress tolerance, but the breeding process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing a comprehensive breeding program with defined objectives and selected germplasm before the actual breeding begins. The breeding program is designed with specific goals for combining desirable traits (disease resistance, stress tolerance, improved fatty acid profiles) from the outset, allowing for efficient resource allocation and reduced trial-and-error in later stages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent demonstrates multi-functionality by developing a breeding program that simultaneously achieves multiple objectives: improving yield, enhancing disease resistance, increasing stress tolerance, and modifying fatty acid profiles. This integrated approach allows a single breeding program to address multiple agricultural needs rather than requiring separate programs for each trait.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

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

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination capabilityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex breeding program into distinct phases and components: germplasm analysis and definition, program goal establishment, selection of germplasm with specific traits, and final variety development. Each phase focuses on specific aspects of trait combination, making the overall complex process more manageable and systematic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent demonstrates local quality by selectively combining specific desirable traits from different parental germplasm lines into the target variety. Rather than uniformly applying all possible improvements, the breeding program strategically selects and combines specific traits (such as disease resistance genes from particular parents) that are most beneficial for the intended use, creating a variety with optimized local characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If extensive breeding and selection steps are performed to achieve stable high-yielding varieties, then the variety achieves superior agronomic characteristics, but the resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrain yieldVSAvoidbreeding resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies feedback by incorporating evaluation and selection steps throughout the breeding program. Germplasm is selected and evaluated based on performance in specific environments and conditions, with feedback from these evaluations used to guide further breeding decisions. This ensures that resources are allocated to the most promising lines, reducing waste from pursuing unproductive breeding paths.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent demonstrates parameter changes by modifying breeding strategies based on environmental conditions and genetic findings. The program adjusts selection criteria and breeding approaches according to observed performance data, allowing for optimized resource allocation that adapts to changing conditions and maximizes productivity while minimizing resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
