Solution Overview

Problem

The development of new soybean varieties is a time-consuming process that requires precise planning and efficient resource use, aiming to combine desirable traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved agronomic characteristics, while existing methods struggle to efficiently integrate these traits into stable, high-yielding varieties.

Innovation Solution

The soybean variety XBP30008 is developed through careful breeding and selection, combining traits like resistance to diseases, insects, drought, and improved fatty acid profiles, with methods for introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing the variety using genetic marker profiles to ensure stability and uniformity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new soybean varieties, then desirable traits can be combined, but the process is time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreeding efficiencyVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs pre-breeding lines and germplasm collections that have been pre-selected and characterized before being used in the actual breeding program. This preliminary preparation allows the main breeding work to be conducted more efficiently and reduces the overall time required to develop new varieties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a comprehensive evaluation system that continuously monitors and evaluates breeding lines based on multiple criteria (yield, disease resistance, stress tolerance, quality traits). This feedback mechanism allows for real-time adjustments in breeding strategies and selection criteria, improving efficiency and reducing time to market.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple desirable traits are integrated into a single variety, then variety performance is improved, but trait integration becomes complex and difficult to manage

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the breeding program into distinct modules, each focused on integrating specific traits (e.g., disease resistance, stress tolerance, quality traits). This segmentation allows for manageable, systematic integration of multiple traits without overwhelming complexity, as each trait can be addressed through dedicated breeding lines and evaluation protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent develops universal breeding lines and germplasm collections that can serve multiple purposes across different breeding programs. These pre-breeding lines are designed to be versatile, allowing them to be used for integrating various traits while maintaining a consistent genetic background, thereby reducing the overall complexity of trait integration.

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

3Ease of manufacture

If precise planning and efficient resource use are implemented, then breeding costs are reduced, but planning precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreeding program feasibilityVSAvoidbreeding plan precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes comprehensive germplasm collections and pre-breeding lines before the main breeding program begins. This preliminary action provides a solid foundation that reduces the need for complex real-time planning adjustments, making the breeding program more feasible while maintaining appropriate precision levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements continuous evaluation and feedback mechanisms that monitor breeding progress and resource utilization. This feedback system allows for adaptive planning that maintains precision where needed while providing flexibility in resource allocation, balancing planning precision requirements with program feasibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
