Cleome hybrida Inclesbimp Cultivar White Flower Color Mutation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a distinct cultivar of Cleome hybrida that exhibits unique characteristics such as upright and freely branching habits, dense bushy form, continuous flowering, and specific flower colors, which are not met by existing cultivars like 'Inclesnabl' and 'Linde Armstrong', and differ from 'Inncleosr' in flower bud and flower colors.
Innovation Solution
A new cultivar 'Inclesbimp' is developed, which is a naturally occurring mutation of Cleome hybrida 'Inclesnabl', characterized by an upright and freely branching habit, dense and bushy form, white-colored flowers, and good garden performance, distinguished from other cultivars like 'Inncleosr' and 'Linde Armstrong' by flower bud and flower color, and is propagated through vegetative cuttings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If existing cultivars like 'Inclesnabl' are used, then they have white-colored flower buds, but the flowers are blushed with light pink towards the apices which does not meet the requirement for pure white flowers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selecting a naturally occurring mutation that alters the flower color parameter from pink-blushed to pure white. This genetic parameter change in the 'Inclesbimp' cultivar eliminates the color uniformity issue present in 'Inclesnabl' where flowers were blushed with light pink towards the apices.
2Shape
If cultivar 'Linde Armstrong' is used, then it has rose pink-colored flowers, but this does not meet the requirement for white-colored flowers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by focusing on the specific color characteristic of the flowers. The 'Inclesbimp' cultivar exhibits pure white flowers as a localized color property, distinguishing it from 'Linde Armstrong' which has rose pink flowers. This local color quality is the defining feature that meets the patent's requirements.
3Shape
If cultivar 'Inncleosr' is used, then it has lavender pink-colored flowers, but this does not meet the requirement for white-colored flowers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by utilizing a genetic mutation that fundamentally changes the flower color parameter from pink/lavender to pure white. The 'Inclesbimp' cultivar represents a stable parameter change that ensures consistent white flower coloration, improving reliability compared to cultivars with variable pink hues.
4Shape
If a new cultivar with upright and freely branching habit is developed, then dense and bushy form is achieved, but this requires stable reproduction across generations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by utilizing natural mutation and selection processes to develop the desired plant form. The upright and freely branching habits, along with dense bushy form, emerged through natural variation and were selected for stability. The cultivar propagates true to type through vegetative reproduction, allowing the plant to maintain its composition stability without extensive human intervention.
