Innovation Solution

The development of wheat variety A_08S0116-11, which includes its seed, cells, germplasm, plant parts, derivatives, and progeny, along with methods for breeding and introducing additional traits like drought tolerance, disease resistance, and modified metabolic pathways through genetic marker profiles and locus conversions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If inbred wheat lines are used for hybrid seed production, then uniformity and repeatability of hybrid seed are improved, but plant vigor and seed yield are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuniformity of hybrid seedVSAvoidseed yield
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program segments the development process into distinct phases: creating highly homozygous inbred lines through multiple generations of self-pollination for uniformity, then crossing these inbreds to produce hybrid seeds that exhibit heterosis for vigor and yield. This segmentation allows each phase to optimize for its specific goal without compromise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the genetic parameter from homozygosity (inbred lines) to heterozygosity (hybrid plants) to achieve different objectives. Inbred lines are maintained at high homozygosity for uniformity, while hybrid plants are created with heterozygosity to maximize vigor and seed yield through heterotic effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple breeding objectives are pursued simultaneously, then comprehensive improvement of wheat varieties is achieved, but breeding program complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive trait improvementVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program uses universal methods and tools that can address multiple breeding objectives simultaneously. Marker-assisted selection, for example, can track multiple traits (disease resistance, yield components, quality attributes) in a single selection process, making the breeding system multi-functional and reducing overall complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

Molecular markers serve as intermediaries between phenotypic traits and genetic loci, enabling indirect selection for multiple traits. These markers facilitate the simultaneous pursuit of diverse breeding objectives by providing a unified selection mechanism that can monitor and select for multiple genetic loci controlling different traits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
