Solution Overview

Problem

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

Innovation Solution

Development of the wheat variety 6PVKS36B, which is homozygous and stable, incorporating genetic modifications and locus conversions to introduce traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and altered nutritional quality, achieved through methods like genetic transformation and backcrossing, enabling the production of hybrid seeds and plants with enhanced characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional wheat breeding methods are used, then existing varieties are maintained, but they lack comprehensive combination of desirable traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, and drought tolerance

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiddisease resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple desirable traits from different parental germplasm sources into a single wheat variety 6PVKS36B. This includes integrating disease resistance genes, drought tolerance characteristics, and improved seed yield traits through systematic breeding programs that merge genetic material from multiple parents to create a composite variety with comprehensive beneficial properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The wheat variety represents a composite genetic structure that integrates multiple trait components from different parental lines. The variety combines resistance genes against various diseases, abiotic stress tolerance mechanisms, and agronomic improvement traits into a unified genetic composition that exhibits synergistic effects across multiple performance parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Productivity

If genetic modifications are introduced to improve traits, then commercial value is enhanced, but development complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program employs preliminary actions by pre-selecting parental lines with specific desirable traits before initiating the crossing program. Molecular markers and genetic screening are performed on potential parents to identify those carrying target genes for disease resistance, drought tolerance, and yield improvement, thereby preparing the genetic material in advance to streamline the subsequent breeding steps and reduce overall program complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
