Broccoli Plant FERM BP-22393 Winter Anthocyanin Suppression
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Broccoli plants cultivated in winter tend to grow slowly and often develop anthocyanin coloration, making them less marketable.
Innovation Solution
A new broccoli plant identified by Accession No. FERM BP-22393, along with its progeny lines, characterized by specific morphological and physiological traits such as semi-erect leaf attitude, medium leaf length, gray-green leaf color, and absence of anthocyanin coloration, is developed through self-crossing and crossing with other broccoli plants.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If broccoli plants are cultivated in winter, then they can be harvested from December to January, but they grow slowly and develop anthocyanin coloration reducing merchantability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the genetic composition of the broccoli plant through introduction of specific breeding lines. This genetic parameter change enables the plant to maintain green coloration and avoid anthocyanin coloration even when cultivated in winter conditions, thus resolving the contradiction between harvest timing and coloration problems
2Productivity
If broccoli plants are cultivated in winter, then they can be harvested from December to January, but their growth rate decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces specific breeding lines that alter the genetic parameters of the broccoli plant. This genetic modification enables faster growth rate while maintaining the ability to be harvested in winter months, thus resolving the contradiction between harvest timing and growth speed
