Chrysanthemum Cultivar with Uniform Mounding and Reddish-Orange Florets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Chrysanthemum cultivars lack uniformly mounding and freely flowering plants with unique inflorescence form and ray floret coloration, particularly in garden settings.
Innovation Solution
Development of a new Chrysanthemum cultivar, 'G24MAG11OR', which exhibits upright, spreading, and uniformly rounded plant habit, freely branching, medium green leaves, long flowering period, and reddish orange ray florets, derived from a naturally occurring mutation of 'G22MAG13BR', demonstrating stable asexual reproduction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If existing Chrysanthemum cultivars are used, then general flowering is achieved, but uniform mounding habit and unique inflorescence form with distinctive ray floret coloration are lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selecting for specific morphological parameters including uniform mounding plant habit, compact inflorescence form, and distinctive reddish-orange ray floret coloration. The cultivar 'G24MAG11OR' exhibits these altered parameters compared to existing cultivars, achieving the desired shape and color characteristics through targeted selection in a breeding program.
2Shape
If breeding for unique inflorescence form and color is prioritized, then aesthetic appeal is improved, but garden performance and growth vigor may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating traits between specific plant parts: the inflorescences exhibit unique form and reddish-orange coloration, while the foliage maintains medium green color and the overall plant demonstrates vigorous growth. This localized differentiation allows the cultivar to excel in both aesthetic characteristics and garden performance simultaneously.
3Strength
If selection for vigorous growth is intensified, then plant strength is improved, but uniformity of flowering and branching may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service through the plant's inherent growth regulation mechanisms. The cultivar 'G24MAG11OR' exhibits freely branching habit and uniform flowering without requiring intensive intervention, as the plant self-regulates its growth to maintain both vigor and uniformity. The moderate vigour is self-balanced to prevent excessive growth that would compromise uniformity.
