Solution Overview

Problem

Current crop breeding methods face challenges in developing uniform, high-yielding bean varieties with desirable traits such as resistance to insects, diseases, and environmental stress, as they often result in unpredictable performance due to genetic non-uniformity in hybrid plants.

Innovation Solution

The development of the bean line SVGV2089, which is homozygous and uniform, incorporating specific genetic loci for traits like herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, and disease resistance through backcrossing and genetic engineering techniques, ensuring consistent performance across generations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If cross-pollination is used to combine desirable traits from different plant varieties, then genetic diversity and trait variety are improved, but genetic uniformity and performance predictability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait varietyVSAvoidperformance predictability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program segments the development process into distinct phases: first developing uniform inbred lines through self-pollination, then crossing these standardized lines to create predictable F1 hybrids. This segmentation allows each phase to optimize for its specific goal without compromising the other.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the genetic parameter from heterozygous (cross-pollinated) to homozygous (inbred) state to achieve uniformity. By deliberately creating homozygous inbred lines first, then crossing them, the program transforms the genetic state to achieve both diversity in traits and uniformity in performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If self-pollination is used to develop uniform inbred lines, then genetic uniformity and performance consistency are improved, but genetic diversity and trait combination capability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance consistencyVSAvoidgenetic diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The program performs preliminary self-pollination to create uniform inbred lines before proceeding to crossing. This preliminary action establishes the homogeneous genetic foundation necessary for predictable hybrid performance, while the subsequent crossing restores genetic diversity for trait combination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The breeding program maintains continuous useful action by cycling between self-pollination (for uniformity) and cross-pollination (for diversity). This continuous alternation ensures both genetic uniformity within lines and genetic diversity across the breeding population, resolving the contradiction between the two requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Stability of the object's composition

If multiple breeding generations are advanced to achieve homozygosity, then genetic uniformity is improved, but breeding time and development duration increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic uniformityVSAvoidbreeding time
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical/time-dependent method of achieving homozygosity through multiple generations of selfing with molecular marker technology. By using DNA markers to track and select for homozygosity, the program accelerates the process without requiring as many generations, thus reducing breeding time while maintaining genetic uniformity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
