Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wheat varieties often lack a balanced combination of desirable traits such as high seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved milling properties, making them less adaptable to various agricultural conditions and uses.

Innovation Solution

Development of the wheat variety 6PBDH22B, which is homozygous and stable, incorporating traits like disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved milling properties through genetic modification and breeding techniques, allowing for the introduction of transgenes and locus conversions to enhance specific traits like herbicide resistance and altered nutritional content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional wheat breeding methods are used, then variety development is achieved, but the combination of desirable traits (yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, milling properties) is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination of desirable traitsVSAvoidadaptability to agricultural conditions
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple desirable traits from different parental lines into a single wheat variety through systematic breeding. The variety 6PBDH22B integrates high seed yield, disease resistance (including stem rust and leaf rust), drought tolerance, and improved milling properties by merging genetic material from parents with complementary traits, achieving a balanced combination that traditional single-trait breeding could not accomplish

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The wheat variety represents a composite genetic structure combining multiple trait combinations from different parental germplasm. The variety integrates resistance genes from various sources, including stem rust resistance from parent A, leaf rust resistance from parent B, and quality traits from parent C, creating a composite genetic makeup that provides multi-faceted adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Productivity

If genetic modification and breeding techniques are applied, then specific traits (herbicide resistance, nutritional content) are enhanced, but the complexity of development increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yield and trait enhancementVSAvoidbreeding and genetic modification process
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary selection of parental lines with specific desired traits before initiating the breeding program. Parents are pre-characterized for disease resistance, yield potential, and quality attributes, allowing the breeding process to focus on combining these pre-identified traits rather than discovering them during development. This preliminary characterization streamlines the overall process despite the complexity of genetic modification

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The breeding program incorporates systematic evaluation and selection at multiple generations, using feedback from phenotypic and genotypic analysis to guide further breeding decisions. Molecular markers and trait assessment provide feedback on progress toward desired trait combinations, allowing adjustments to the breeding strategy to optimize the balance between trait enhancement and process complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
