Solution Overview

Problem

Clematis plants in commercial cultivation lacked uniform and abundant white flowers, vigorous and compact growth, improved disease resistance, and early flowering, making them unsuitable for container culture and prone to diseases.

Innovation Solution

A new Clematis variety 'Evipo065' was developed through controlled crossing, exhibiting green-white reproductive flower parts, compact growth, and improved disease resistance, achieved by asexual reproduction using vegetative stem cuttings, which demonstrated uniform and abundant white flowers, vigorous growth, and early flowering.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If traditional clematis varieties are used for commercial cultivation, then they can be grown and reproduced, but they lack uniform and abundant white flowers, vigorous and compact growth, and early flowering

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveflower abundanceVSAvoidflower uniformity

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by selecting and breeding for specific genetic traits that control flower production parameters. The new variety 'Evipo065' exhibits altered parameters including increased flower abundance, uniform white coloration, and compact growth habits through controlled hybridization and selection processes, transforming the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the plant

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If traditional clematis varieties are used, then they can grow and flower, but they are prone to diseases and lack improved disease resistance

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedisease resistanceVSAvoiddisease susceptibility

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful susceptibility to diseases into a beneficial trait by selecting parent plants with complementary disease resistance profiles and breeding for enhanced immunity. The new variety 'Evipo065' demonstrates improved disease resistance through genetic selection, transforming the previously harmful disease susceptibility into a protective characteristic

Inventive Principle:

Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional clematis varieties with larger growth habit are used, then they can produce flowers, but they are not suitable for container culture due to lack of compact growth

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontainer culture suitabilityVSAvoidplant size

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by selecting for compact growth habits through controlled breeding. The new variety 'Evipo065' exhibits modified growth parameters including reduced plant size, compact habit, and restricted root system development, making it adaptable to container culture while maintaining flowering capability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes
