Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wheat varieties lack a comprehensive combination of desirable traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, drought and heat tolerance, improved milling properties, and enhanced agronomic characteristics, limiting their adaptability and productivity.

Innovation Solution

Development of the wheat variety 6PHAQ54B, which is homozygous and stable, incorporating genetic modifications and locus conversions for traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and altered nutritional quality, achieved through breeding techniques and genetic transformation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional wheat varieties are used, then breeding simplicity is maintained, but comprehensive desirable traits (yield, disease resistance, stress tolerance, milling properties) cannot be combined

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, heat tolerance, improved milling properties, enhanced nutritional quality) from different parental germplasm into a single wheat variety through systematic breeding interventions, merging previously separate trait improvements into one comprehensive variety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If genetic modifications and locus conversions are introduced, then trait improvement (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, nutritional quality) is achieved, but genetic complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait stabilityVSAvoidgenetic modification complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making the wheat variety homozygous and stable at specific genetic loci while maintaining the overall genetic structure, allowing targeted improvement of specific traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, nutritional quality) without completely redesigning the entire genome

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
