Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for a distinct and stable variety of Dianthus caryophyllus that reproduces true to type in asexual propagation, offering unique floral characteristics and growth habits not found in existing varieties.

Innovation Solution

The development of 'KLEDP14206', a new variety of Dianthus caryophyllus resulting from a branch mutation of 'DCP 2009-1003', characterized by double dark pink and purple bicolor flowers and an upright plant habit, propagated via vegetative cuttings, which reproduces consistently in successive generations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If vegetative propagation is used to reproduce Dianthus varieties, then propagation speed and productivity are improved, but true-to-type reproduction reliability may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepropagation speedVSAvoidtrue-to-type reproduction

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes vegetative cuttings to create genetic copies of the parent plant 'DCP 2009-1003', producing offspring that are clones rather than seeds. This copying method ensures that the new variety 'KLEDP14206' maintains the exact same genetic characteristics, flower color, and growth habit as the parent, thereby achieving both rapid propagation and true-to-type reproduction reliability simultaneously

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If new varieties are developed through mutation, then floral characteristics and growth habits are improved, but propagation stability may worsen

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefloral characteristicsVSAvoidpropagation stability

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent describes a branch mutation that occurred in May 2010, which is a change in the genetic parameters of the plant. This mutation resulted in the new variety 'KLEDP14206' having distinct characteristics such as double flowers with dark pink and purple bicolor, while the mutation itself was stable enough to be propagated true-to-type through vegetative cuttings in successive generations, achieving both novel characteristics and propagation stability
