Solution Overview

Problem

The development of new soybean varieties is a time-consuming process requiring precise planning and efficient resource use, with a goal of creating stable, high-yielding varieties that are agronomically sound and adaptable to various conditions and environments, while also addressing issues like disease resistance and abiotic stress tolerance.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of the soybean variety XBP48013R, which is the result of careful breeding and selection, combining desirable traits such as improved yield, disease resistance, and abiotic stress tolerance, along with methods for producing and characterizing this variety, including crossing, introgressing traits, and developing derived varieties or plant parts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to develop new varieties, then desirable traits such as yield, disease resistance, and stress tolerance can be combined, but the process becomes extremely time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of desirable traitsVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing parental germplasm for specific desirable traits (yield, disease resistance, stress tolerance) before crossing. This allows breeders to select parents with known trait profiles, reducing the time needed for trait verification in later generations and accelerating the breeding cycle while maintaining trait stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If multiple generations of breeding and selection are performed to ensure trait stability, then uniform and stable varieties are achieved, but the development process extends over many years

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait uniformityVSAvoidvariety development time
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by systematically evaluating and characterizing breeding lines at multiple stages for specific traits. This feedback mechanism allows early identification of lines with desired trait stability, enabling selective advancement of only those lines that meet uniformity standards, thereby reducing the number of generations needed to achieve stable varieties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If comprehensive breeding programs are implemented to address multiple traits simultaneously, then agronomically sound varieties are produced, but resource requirements and program complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagronomic adaptabilityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the comprehensive breeding program into separate, focused breeding objectives for different traits (yield, disease resistance, stress tolerance). This allows parallel development of specialized breeding lines that can later be combined, reducing program complexity while maintaining the ability to produce agronomically adaptable varieties with multiple desirable traits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
