Problem

Current wheat breeding methods face challenges in developing stable, high-yielding wheat varieties with improved grain quality and disease resistance, requiring efficient selection and breeding techniques to combine desirable traits such as drought tolerance, heat resistance, and agronomic qualities.

Innovation Solution

The development of the wheat variety W010425E1 through a modified pedigree selection method, involving careful crossing and self-pollination of homozygous lines to achieve uniformity and stability, combined with molecular marker techniques for trait selection and backcross conversion to introduce desirable traits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional wheat breeding methods are used, then existing varieties can be maintained, but the development of stable, high-yielding varieties with improved grain quality and disease resistance is challenging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of wheat varietyVSAvoidyield potential
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program segments the development process into distinct phases: creating a diverse population through initial crosses, selecting individuals with desirable traits, and advancing through multiple generations of self-pollination. This segmentation allows systematic improvement of both stability and yield by addressing each trait in dedicated breeding cycles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by creating a diverse F2 population through initial crosses before selecting for specific traits. This preliminary population creation establishes genetic variation that can be systematically selected upon in subsequent generations, enabling the development of stable high-yielding varieties through directed selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If selection and breeding techniques are applied to combine desirable traits, then grain quality and disease resistance improve, but the complexity of breeding processes increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program incorporates feedback mechanisms through multi-location field testing and evaluation of breeding lines against established standards. This feedback allows continuous refinement of selection criteria and breeding strategies, managing complexity through data-driven decision making while improving disease resistance and grain quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses molecular markers as intermediaries to track and select for desirable traits during the breeding process. These markers simplify the complex task of identifying individuals with specific disease resistance genes and grain quality characteristics, reducing the complexity of selection without compromising the improvement of reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If homozygous lines are crossed and self-pollinated to achieve uniformity, then variety stability improves, but the time required for breeding increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuniformity of wheat varietyVSAvoidbreeding cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by creating diverse F2 populations through initial crosses before advancing to selection and self-pollination generations. This preliminary population creation establishes the genetic foundation that reduces the number of subsequent self-pollination generations needed to achieve uniformity, thereby shortening the overall breeding cycle while maintaining variety stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The breeding program utilizes parameter changes by transitioning from diverse F2 populations to selected homozygous lines through controlled self-pollination. By changing the genetic composition parameter from heterozygous to homozygous states in selected lines, the program achieves uniformity more efficiently, reducing the time required compared to traditional breeding approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Measurement precision

If molecular marker techniques and backcross conversion are used to introduce desirable traits, then trait selection accuracy improves, but the technical complexity of the methods increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait selection accuracyVSAvoidmolecular marker techniques complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses molecular markers as intermediaries to accurately track and select for desirable traits during backcross conversion. These markers provide precise measurement of genetic composition, enabling accurate trait selection without requiring complex phenotypic analysis, thereby improving measurement precision while managing technical complexity through standardized molecular techniques.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
