Alstroemeria Cultivar 'Tesindig imp.' Breeding for Vigor and Flower Size
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Alstroemeria cultivars lack vigorous growth and large, continuously flowering plants with attractive purple flowers, particularly under varying environmental conditions.
Innovation Solution
A new Alstroemeria cultivar, 'Tesindig imp.', with a broadly upright habit, sturdy growth, and numerous large purple flowers, bred through root division in a controlled greenhouse environment, exhibiting stability across generations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional Alstroemeria cultivars are grown under varying environmental conditions, then environmental adaptability is tested, but growth vigor and flower size decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selecting and stabilizing specific genetic parameters through mutation breeding. The mutant plant exhibits altered growth parameters (vigour, flower size, leaf size) that remain stable across environmental variations, resolving the contradiction between environmental adaptability and consistent high productivity.
2Quantity of substance
If Alstroemeria plants are bred for larger flowers and vigorous growth, then flower size and plant vigor improve, but stability under environmental variations deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a naturally occurring mutation as a starting point rather than complex multi-generation breeding programs. This mutation, discovered in a single plant, provides immediate and stable traits of larger flowers and vigorous growth without requiring extensive breeding history, thus achieving both improved quantity and stability efficiently.
3Stability of the object's composition
If conventional cultivars are propagated to maintain consistency, then genotype stability is maintained, but phenotypic variation under environmental stress increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mutant plant exhibits self-service characteristics by naturally maintaining its superior traits (larger flowers, vigorous growth) through stable inheritance during asexual propagation. The plant does not require special environmental conditions or complex management to express its improved phenotype, making it self-sufficient in maintaining both genotype and phenotype consistency.
