Solution Overview

Problem

Existing soybean varieties lack improved combinations of traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, insect resistance, drought tolerance, and better agronomic quality, which are essential for maximizing grain production and meeting food demands.

Innovation Solution

Development of the novel soybean variety 01106393, which includes genetic modifications for herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality through methods like genome editing using engineered nucleases, and breeding techniques such as backcrossing and hybridization to combine desirable traits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional breeding methods are used to develop soybean varieties, then genetic diversity can be maintained, but breeding time and complexity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic diversityVSAvoidbreeding time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting parental lines with desired traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, yield characteristics) before initiating the breeding program. The parental germplasm is carefully chosen and characterized in advance, allowing the breeding process to proceed more efficiently toward specific breeding objectives without wasting time on unsuitable combinations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback through systematic evaluation and selection at multiple stages of the breeding process. Progeny are assessed for trait inheritance, and selection decisions are made based on performance data. This feedback loop allows breeders to adjust breeding strategies and maintain genetic diversity while progressing toward breeding goals in a time-efficient manner.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple breeding objectives are pursued simultaneously, then variety improvement is comprehensive, but program complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait improvementVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the breeding program into distinct phases and objective groups. Different breeding objectives (yield improvement, disease resistance, herbicide tolerance) are addressed in organized sequences rather than simultaneously. This segmentation allows the complex multi-objective breeding program to be managed systematically, reducing overall program complexity while achieving comprehensive variety improvement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs universal breeding strategies and parental lines that can address multiple breeding objectives simultaneously. Selected parental germplasm carries multiple desirable traits, allowing a single breeding program to pursue several improvement goals without proportionally increasing complexity. This multi-functionality approach enables comprehensive variety improvement through integrated breeding efforts.

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

3Productivity

If selection pressure is increased to improve yield, then productivity gains are achieved, but genetic diversity may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidgenetic diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by implementing differential selection pressure across different traits and breeding stages. High selection pressure is applied to yield-related traits where productivity gains are prioritized, while maintained lower pressure on traits related to genetic diversity and adaptability. This localized approach to selection allows productivity improvement without excessive loss of genetic diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by adjusting selection criteria and intensity at different breeding stages. Selection parameters are modified to balance yield improvement with diversity maintenance - early generations use broader criteria to preserve diversity, while later generations intensify selection for yield. This dynamic parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction between productivity gains and genetic diversity preservation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
