Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge in wheat breeding is to combine desirable traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved milling properties into a single wheat variety, while ensuring uniformity and stability across different growing conditions.

Innovation Solution

The development of the wheat variety 6PDLP00B, which involves crossing homozygous lines and employing plant breeding techniques like pedigree selection and genetic marker-assisted selection to introduce desired traits, including transgenic modifications for herbicide resistance and disease resistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple parental germ plasm are crossed to combine desirable traits, then the variety gains improved characteristics (yield, resistance, tolerance), but the breeding process becomes more complex and requires numerous intervention steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination of desirable traitsVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding process is segmented into distinct generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1, BC2, etc.) with specific selection objectives for each stage. This segmentation allows complex trait combination to be managed through systematic, step-by-step progression rather than attempting all combinations simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Parental lines are pre-selected and characterized for specific desirable traits before crossing. The P1 and P2 generations undergo preliminary evaluation and selection to ensure they possess the target characteristics (disease resistance, yield potential, stress tolerance) before being combined in the breeding program.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If pedigree selection and marker-assisted selection are employed to ensure uniformity and stability, then the variety achieves consistent performance across growing conditions, but the selection process requires more time and resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuniformity and stabilityVSAvoidselection process time
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Molecular markers are used to provide feedback on the genetic composition of breeding lines at each generation. This allows selection decisions to be based on actual genetic data rather than phenotypic observation alone, accelerating the achievement of uniformity and stability while reducing the time required for multi-generation field testing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

Traditional phenotypic selection (visual assessment of plant traits in the field) is supplemented and replaced by molecular marker-assisted selection in the laboratory. This substitution enables more precise and faster identification of desired genetic traits without requiring extensive field growth and visual evaluation time.

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

3Reliability

If transgenic modifications are introduced for herbicide resistance and disease resistance, then the variety gains enhanced protection traits, but the genetic modification process increases complexity and requires additional regulatory steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresistance to diseases and abiotic stressesVSAvoidgenetic modification process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Vector systems serve as intermediaries to deliver desired resistance genes into the wheat genome. The vector acts as a carrier that facilitates the controlled introduction of specific genetic traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance) while maintaining the rest of the genome intact, thereby managing the complexity of genetic modification through a standardized delivery mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Adaptability or versatility

If backcrossing is performed multiple times to introgress desired traits while maintaining parental characteristics, then the variety achieves both new traits and parental uniformity, but the breeding cycle extends over multiple generations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration of new traits with parental characteristicsVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

Molecular markers provide feedback on the proportion of recurrent parent genome retained in each backcross generation. This allows breeders to monitor and select individuals that have achieved the desired balance between introgressed traits and parental genome maintenance, potentially reducing the number of backcross generations needed compared to traditional phenotypic selection alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
