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

The development of a novel soybean variety, XBP46005, which has been bred to combine improved traits like resistance to aerial web blight, aphid antibiosis, and altered fatty acid profiles, through a comprehensive breeding program involving selection and introgression of desirable traits, allowing for efficient production of seeds, cells, and plants with specific characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to develop new varieties with multiple desirable traits, then the variety can achieve comprehensive trait improvement, but the breeding process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combination capabilityVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing a structured breeding program with defined objectives, selecting parent lines with complementary traits before the actual crossing, and planning multi-generation selection protocols. This preliminary planning enables efficient trait combination while controlling breeding cycle duration through systematic progression from F1 through F3 generations with targeted selection at each stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The breeding program is segmented into distinct phases: parent line selection and crossing (F1), initial generation testing and selection (F2), and advanced generation development (F3). Each phase has specific objectives and selection criteria, allowing manageable progression through complex trait combination while reducing overall time through focused effort at each stage rather than simultaneous evaluation of all traits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

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 complex breeding program is divided into manageable segments with specific objectives: Phase 1 focuses on creating F1 hybrids with desired trait combinations, Phase 2 involves F2 generation selection for trait stabilization, and Phase 3 develops F3 lines for final variety establishment. Each phase addresses specific trait combination challenges, reducing overall program complexity through systematic decomposition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The program employs preliminary action by pre-selecting parent lines with complementary traits, pre-defining selection criteria for each generation, and pre-planning the progression pathway. This preliminary structuring enables complex multi-trait combination while maintaining program manageability through clear guidelines and predetermined methodologies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

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:
Improvevariety stabilityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The program applies preliminary action by pre-identifying parent lines with superior traits, pre-establishing selection criteria for each generation, and pre-planning resource allocation across phases. This preliminary planning optimizes resource consumption by focusing efforts on the most promising lines from the outset, reducing waste in later generations while maintaining variety stability through systematic selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The breeding program employs partial action by performing selection and evaluation only on the most promising lines at each generation rather than exhaustively testing all possible combinations. This selective approach maintains variety stability through rigorous evaluation of top candidates while reducing resource consumption by avoiding unnecessary testing of less promising lines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
