Innovation Solution

The development of the wheat variety W030258E2, which involves careful breeding and selection techniques, including cross-pollination, backcrossing, and transformation methods to introduce desired traits like disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved grain quality, along with molecular marker-assisted selection to enhance breeding efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop new wheat varieties, then desirable traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved grain quality can be achieved, but the process is time-consuming and requires significant human intervention over 6-12 years

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesirable traits (disease resistance, drought tolerance, grain quality)VSAvoidbreeding cycle duration (6-12 years)
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical breeding methods with molecular marker-assisted selection and genomic selection technologies. DNA markers and genomic data enable rapid identification and selection of plants with desirable traits without requiring lengthy phenotypic evaluation cycles, thus reducing the 6-12 year breeding duration while maintaining trait reliability

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes changes in genetic parameters through molecular markers and genomic information. By analyzing DNA sequences, SNP data, and genomic profiles, the breeding process can identify and select for desirable traits at the molecular level rather than waiting for phenotypic expression, dramatically reducing the time required to develop new varieties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If comprehensive breeding programs with multiple steps are implemented to achieve superior wheat varieties, then improved combination of desirable traits can be obtained, but the process requires precise forward planning and efficient use of resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination of desirable traitsVSAvoidbreeding program structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs molecular markers and genomic selection tools that serve multiple functions simultaneously: they can identify disease resistance genes, drought tolerance alleles, and grain quality traits in a single analysis. This multi-functionality simplifies the breeding program structure by consolidating multiple selection steps into integrated genomic evaluation processes

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates digital copies of genomic data and molecular marker information to guide breeding decisions. By maintaining comprehensive genomic profiles and DNA marker data, the breeding program can replicate successful genetic combinations and predict trait inheritance patterns, reducing the need for complex phenotypic testing and manual selection processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
