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 genetic stability and uniformity.

Innovation Solution

The development of the wheat variety W090663H1, 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 homozygosity and phenotypic stability through rigorous breeding and selection methods.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple desirable traits are combined into a single wheat variety through breeding, then the agronomic performance and resistance characteristics are improved, but the genetic stability and uniformity become difficult to maintain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination of desirable traitsVSAvoidgenetic stability and uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program segments the combination process into distinct phases: initial crossing to combine traits, followed by separate backcrossing operations to restore genetic uniformity, and final selection to stabilize the variety. This segmented approach allows trait combination while progressively recovering genetic stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Preliminary crossing operations are performed between selected parental lines to pre-combine desirable traits before initiating the backcrossing program. This preliminary action establishes the genetic foundation that will be refined through subsequent breeding steps to achieve both trait combination and genetic stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If genetic modification and locus conversion techniques are used to introduce new traits, then herbicide resistance and disease resistance are improved, but the complexity of the breeding process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveherbicide resistance and disease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses backcrossing as an intermediary mechanism to transfer specific traits (herbicide resistance, disease resistance) from donor parents to the recurrent parent W090663H1. This intermediary process allows precise introduction of desired traits while systematically eliminating unwanted genetic material, managing complexity through structured intermediate generations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The breeding process systematically changes genetic parameters through controlled generations: introducing traits at specific loci, then progressively increasing the proportion of recurrent parent genome through repeated backcrossing (BC1, BC2, BC3 generations). This parameter change approach manages complexity by transforming a complex multi-trait introduction into a series of simpler, sequential genetic adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Stability of the object's composition

If rigorous breeding and selection methods are applied to ensure homozygosity and phenotypic stability, then uniformity and stability of traits are improved, but the time and resources required for variety development increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehomozygosity and phenotypic stabilityVSAvoidtime for variety development
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program employs periodic backcrossing operations (BC1, BC2, BC3 generations) at regular intervals to systematically restore the recurrent parent genome while maintaining desired traits. This periodic action accelerates the achievement of homozygosity and phenotypic stability compared to traditional continuous selfing, reducing the time required to develop stable varieties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

Rigorous selection and evaluation are applied at each breeding generation to provide feedback on trait expression and genetic stability. This feedback mechanism allows real-time assessment of homozygosity and phenotypic consistency, enabling及时调整 of breeding strategies to optimize the balance between stability achievement and time efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
