Solution Overview

Problem

Current wheat breeding methods face challenges in combining desirable traits such as high seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved agronomic characteristics into a single wheat variety, while maintaining uniformity and stability.

Innovation Solution

The development of the wheat variety W080329C1, which involves genetic modification and locus conversion through transgenic techniques, including the introduction of specific genes for traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and abiotic stress tolerance, combined with traditional breeding methods like backcrossing and selection, to create a stable and uniform germplasm.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then the complexity of the breeding process increases, but the uniformity and stability of the resulting variety may be compromised

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-introducing multiple desirable traits through genetic modification before the breeding process begins. The wheat variety is genetically engineered to contain multiple trait genes (herbicide resistance, disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance) in advance, eliminating the need for complex multi-generational breeding to combine these traits. This resolves the contradiction by achieving trait combination without proportional increase in process complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If genetic modification techniques are applied to introduce multiple traits, then the desired traits are achieved more efficiently, but the difficulty of ensuring uniformity and stability increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait introduction efficiencyVSAvoiduniformity and stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the genetic parameters of the wheat variety through controlled genetic transformation. Multiple trait genes are introduced with specific expression levels and patterns that ensure uniformity across the population. The use of standardized transformation protocols and selection markers ensures that all plants receive identical genetic modifications, achieving both high productivity in trait introduction and precision in uniformity and stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple genes for different traits are introduced through genetic transformation, then the functional capabilities of the wheat variety are enhanced, but the complexity of the genetic structure increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional capabilitiesVSAvoidgenetic structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies merging by combining multiple trait genes into a single genetically modified wheat variety. Rather than creating separate varieties for each trait, the invention merges herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and abiotic stress tolerance genes into one integrated genetic structure. This resolves the contradiction by achieving enhanced functional capabilities while managing genetic structure complexity through systematic gene stacking and standardized transformation approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
