Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wheat varieties often lack a combination of desirable traits such as high seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved milling properties, making them less adaptable to various agricultural conditions and uses.

Innovation Solution

Development of the wheat variety 6PTTB30B, which is homozygous and stable, incorporating genetic modifications and locus conversions to enhance traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and altered nutritional quality, achieved through methods like genetic transformation and backcrossing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop wheat varieties, then the development process is relatively simple, but the combination of desirable traits (yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, heat tolerance, milling properties) is limited

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple breeding techniques including cross-pollination, genetic transformation, and locus conversion to integrate diverse desirable traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, heat tolerance, milling properties) into a single wheat variety, achieving superior trait combinations that traditional single-method breeding cannot accomplish

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses molecular markers as intermediaries to track and select for desirable traits during breeding, enabling precise selection of plants carrying specific resistance genes and quality traits, thereby facilitating the complex trait combination process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If genetic transformation and locus conversion techniques are employed to introduce specific traits, then trait precision is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait introduction precisionVSAvoidbreeding technique complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical selection methods with molecular marker-assisted selection and genetic transformation techniques, enabling precise identification and introduction of specific traits at the molecular level, thereby achieving superior trait precision despite increased technical complexity

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes locus conversion to precisely alter specific genetic parameters while maintaining the overall genetic background, allowing targeted introduction of desirable traits such as disease resistance genes without affecting other important characteristics of the base variety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If multiple breeding techniques are combined to achieve superior trait combinations, then the quality of the wheat variety is improved, but the time and resources required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety stability and uniformityVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary molecular marker screening and pre-selection of parental lines with desired traits before initiating cross-breeding programs, thereby reducing the time required for subsequent selection and evaluation stages, and accelerating the overall breeding process while maintaining variety reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
