Innovation Solution

The development of the wheat variety W090006C1, which involves genetic modification and locus conversion techniques, including transgenic approaches and backcrossing, to introduce traits like herbicide resistance, disease resistance, and improved nutritional quality, while ensuring phenotypic stability and uniformity through rigorous breeding and selection methods.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional wheat breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then the complexity of the breeding process increases significantly, but the ability to achieve stable and uniform expression of all traits in a single variety deteriorates

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the breeding process into distinct stages: initial crossing to combine traits from multiple parents, followed by systematic selection and evaluation of progeny. This segmentation allows complex multi-trait combinations to be achieved through manageable sequential steps rather than attempting to combine all traits simultaneously, thereby reducing overall process complexity while maintaining trait combination capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs preliminary action by conducting extensive preliminary crossing and selection work to establish parental lines with specific trait combinations before final variety development. This preliminary groundwork ensures that when traits are combined in the target variety, they are more likely to be stable and uniform, reducing the need for repeated breeding cycles and simplifying the overall process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If multiple traits are combined in a single wheat variety through breeding, then the agricultural productivity improves, but the time required for variety development increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveagricultural productivityVSAvoidvariety development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation and selection of progeny at each breeding stage. Performance data on multiple traits are collected and analyzed to guide subsequent breeding decisions, allowing the program to identify promising varieties earlier and accelerate development while ensuring stable trait expression. This feedback-driven approach reduces development time by focusing resources on the most promising genetic combinations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by evaluating and selecting based on multiple quantitative parameters simultaneously (yield, disease resistance, quality traits) rather than sequential selection. This multi-parameter selection approach allows parallel optimization of multiple traits, reducing the time required to develop varieties with comprehensive improvements in agricultural productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If rigorous breeding and selection methods are applied to ensure phenotypic stability and uniformity, then the quality and stability of the wheat variety improves, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring trait expression increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephenotypic stabilityVSAvoidtrait expression measurement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional visual and manual assessment methods with more sophisticated detection and measurement techniques for evaluating trait expression. This substitution enables more accurate and efficient measurement of multiple traits simultaneously, reducing the difficulty of detection while maintaining rigorous selection standards for phenotypic stability and uniformity.

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