Calibrachoa BBCAL87705 Cultivar Breeding for Uniformity and Pathogen Tolerance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Calibrachoa cultivars lack uniformity, branching, and robust garden performance, with limited tolerance to pathogens and variable flower colors and patterns.
Innovation Solution
A new Calibrachoa cultivar 'BBCAL87705' is developed through controlled breeding, exhibiting a compact, upright to spreading habit, dense branching, early and continuous flowering, and distinctive violet and dark purple petals with a light yellow fading to white star-shaped pattern, offering improved garden performance and pathogen tolerance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing Calibrachoa cultivars are grown, then they can be cultivated, but they lack uniformity and have poor garden performance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selecting and breeding plants with specific genetic parameters that control uniformity, branching, and garden performance. The new cultivar 'BBCAL87705' exhibits stable and uniform growth characteristics, branching patterns, and flowering behavior that differ from existing cultivars, demonstrating improved reliability and uniformity through controlled parameter selection during breeding.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If existing Calibrachoa cultivars are grown, then they can be cultivated, but they have limited tolerance to pathogens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the harmful effect of pathogen susceptibility into beneficial pathogen tolerance through selective breeding. The new cultivar 'BBCAL87705' has been bred to exhibit increased tolerance to pathogens common to Calibrachoa plants, transforming what was previously a weakness (susceptibility) into a strength (tolerance), thereby improving both garden performance and reliability.
3Stability of the object's composition
If existing Calibrachoa cultivars are grown, then they can be cultivated, but they have variable flower colors and patterns
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by establishing consistent flower color and pattern characteristics in specific regions of the plant. The new cultivar 'BBCAL87705' exhibits uniform violet and dark purple petals with consistent light yellow fading to white star-shaped patterns and bright yellow centers, demonstrating controlled local coloration that provides both consistency and distinctive visual appeal.
