Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wheat varieties often lack a balanced combination of desirable traits such as high seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved milling and baking qualities, necessitating the development of a new variety that addresses these needs.

Innovation Solution

The development of the wheat variety 6PNUQ24B, which is homozygous and stable, incorporating traits like disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved milling and baking characteristics through cross-breeding, backcrossing, and genetic transformation, allowing for the introduction of specific genetic modifications.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If wheat varieties are developed through traditional breeding, then seed yield and disease resistance can be improved, but the combination of multiple desirable traits (drought tolerance, milling properties, baking qualities) remains unbalanced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbalanced combination of desirable traits
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple desirable traits from different parental germplasm sources into a single wheat variety through controlled cross-breeding and backcrossing. The variety integrates disease resistance, drought tolerance, improved milling properties, and enhanced baking qualities that were previously separated in different wheat lines, creating a balanced combination of multiple desirable characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The wheat variety 6PNUQ24B is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it provides disease resistance, tolerates drought conditions, produces high-quality flour suitable for both bread making and pastries, and maintains good milling properties. This multi-functional variety addresses the need for a single crop that can satisfy diverse market requirements across different food applications.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple traits are combined in a single variety through cross-breeding, then versatility is improved, but the development process complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program employs preliminary actions by first identifying and selecting parent lines with specific desirable traits before initiating the cross-breeding process. Molecular markers and genomic information are used to pre-identify parents with complementary traits, and the breeding strategy is designed in advance to achieve the desired trait combination through controlled backcrossing generations, thereby managing the complexity of multi-trait combination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Manufacturing precision

If genetic transformation is used to introduce specific traits, then breeding precision is improved, but the overall development time and intervention steps increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic modification precisionVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses molecular markers and genomic information as intermediaries to guide the breeding process. These tools enable precise identification and selection of parents and progeny with desired traits, allowing genetic transformation and conventional breeding to be coordinated efficiently. The intermediaries facilitate targeted intervention at specific stages, reducing unnecessary time while maintaining breeding precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
