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 XBP38012, 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 introduce desired traits.

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 by identifying and isolating specific desirable traits (disease resistance, yield characteristics, fatty acid profiles) that can be independently selected and combined through controlled cross-pollination and backcrossing, reducing the overall complexity and time of the breeding program

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple generations of cross-pollination and backcrossing are performed to introduce desired traits, then trait introduction is achieved, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait introductionVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting parental lines with specific desirable traits (such as disease resistance and improved fatty acid profiles) before initiating the breeding program, and using molecular markers to track trait inheritance, which reduces the number of generations and resources needed to achieve the desired trait combination

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
