Clematis Evipo096 Compact Growth and Disease Resistance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Clematis plants in commercial cultivation lacked uniform and abundant Violet Blue flowers, vigorous and compact growth suitable for container culture, and improved disease resistance, which are essential qualities for nursery culture.
Innovation Solution
A new Clematis variety, 'Evipo096', was developed through controlled crossing, exhibiting Violet Blue flowers, compact growth, and enhanced disease resistance, achieved by selecting and asexually reproducing the hybrid in a controlled environment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional clematis varieties are used in commercial cultivation, then they have been available for gardening use, but they lack uniform and abundant Violet Blue flowers, vigorous and compact growth suitable for container culture, and improved disease resistance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by creating a new variety with modified growth habits and disease resistance characteristics. The hybridization process altered the plant's parameters to achieve compact growth suitable for containers while maintaining or improving disease resistance, directly resolving the contradiction between reliability and adaptability.
2Quantity of substance
If existing clematis varieties are cultivated, then they have established growth patterns, but they do not provide uniform and abundant Violet Blue flowers
Solution Approach 1:
The hybridization process changed the genetic parameters of the clematis plant to produce uniform Violet Blue flowers in abundant quantities. The controlled crossing between specific parent plants resulted in offspring with consistent floral characteristics, resolving the contradiction between quantity and uniformity.
3Productivity
If clematis plants are bred for vigorous growth, then they produce more biomass, but they may become less compact and less suitable for container culture
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves this contradiction by changing the growth habit parameters through hybridization. The new variety exhibits vigorous productivity while maintaining a compact form factor, achieving both high biomass production and small volume suitable for container culture simultaneously.
