Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wheat cultivars lack desirable traits such as improved yield, disease resistance, and adaptability to environmental stressors like drought and heat, limiting their agricultural performance and product diversity.

Innovation Solution

Development of the wheat cultivar 01102445, which combines traits like high seed yield, resistance to diseases and insects, tolerance to drought and heat, and improved agronomic quality through a combination of traditional breeding and genetic transformation, including introduction of transgenic genes for herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and modified nutritional content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop wheat cultivars, then genetic diversity and trait combination are limited, but breeding time and resource investment are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait combinationVSAvoidbreeding time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines traditional breeding methods with genetic transformation technology to integrate multiple desirable traits (disease resistance, yield improvement, stress tolerance) into a single wheat cultivar more efficiently, resolving the contradiction between trait combination capability and breeding time investment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses molecular markers as intermediaries to identify and select plants with desired traits during the breeding process, accelerating the development of cultivars with multiple desirable traits while reducing the time required for phenotypic evaluation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If genetic transformation is used to introduce transgenic genes for herbicide resistance and disease resistance, then adaptability and resistance traits are improved, but device complexity and regulatory requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidgenetic modification process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and isolates specific resistance genes (such as Lr34 for leaf rust resistance) and introduces them into the wheat cultivar through genetic transformation, achieving reliable disease resistance while managing the complexity through targeted gene selection rather than whole-genome modification

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Productivity

If multiple traits are combined in a single cultivar through breeding, then agronomic quality and yield are improved, but the complexity of breeding program management increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseed yieldVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary selection of parental lines with specific desirable traits (high yield, disease resistance, stress tolerance) before initiating the crossing program, and uses molecular marker-assisted selection during the breeding process to efficiently track and combine multiple traits, reducing program management complexity while achieving high productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
