Solution Overview

Problem

Current soybean breeding processes are time-consuming and resource-intensive, aiming to develop stable, high-yielding varieties with improved traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and better agronomic characteristics, but face challenges in efficiently combining these traits in a single variety.

Innovation Solution

The development of the soybean variety XR23AP15PR, which has been bred to combine desirable traits like resistance to aerial web blight, aphid antibiosis, and improved yield, through careful selection and backcrossing, allowing for the introduction of transgenic or mutant traits, and characterization of the variety for stable and uniform performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding processes are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then the resulting variety achieves improved disease resistance and yield, but the breeding process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding process duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing variety XR23AP15PR with multiple desirable traits (aerial web blight resistance, aphid antibiosis, and improved yield) before using it as a parent in subsequent breeding programs. This pre-development of a multi-trait parent variety eliminates the need to conduct separate breeding programs for each trait, significantly reducing the time and resources required to combine multiple traits in future varieties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If multiple traits are combined in a single soybean variety through traditional breeding, then the variety achieves enhanced agronomic performance, but the complexity of the breeding program increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveyieldVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies merging by combining multiple desirable traits (aerial web blight resistance, aphid antibiosis, and improved yield) into a single parent variety XR23AP15PR. This consolidated multi-trait parent can then be used in straightforward breeding programs to transfer these traits to other varieties, reducing breeding program complexity compared to developing each trait separately through multiple independent breeding programs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If extensive breeding and selection is performed to achieve stable, high-yielding varieties, then the variety achieves maximal yield over different conditions, but the resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield stabilityVSAvoidresource requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-characterizing variety XR23AP15PR for yield stability across different environments and conditions before deploying it in breeding programs. This pre-validation of yield stability eliminates the need for extensive additional breeding and selection work to achieve environmental adaptability, reducing resource requirements for subsequent breeding programs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
