DrisStrawSixtyEight Strawberry Yield and Disease Tolerance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for new strawberry plant varieties that are stable, high-yielding, and agronomically sound, with improved characteristics such as fruit quality, yield, and disease tolerance.
Innovation Solution
The strawberry plant variety 'DrisStrawSixtyEight' is developed through a cross between 'DrisStrawTwentySeven' and 'DrisStrawThirtyThree', exhibiting characteristics like inflorescence at the same level as foliage, cordate fruit shape, and partially remontant bearing, with high early and late yield, sweet and aromatic fruit, and tolerance to mites and botrytis, achieved through asexual propagation and testing in different locations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional strawberry varieties are used for commercial production, then propagation and distribution are straightforward, but yield consistency, disease tolerance, and fruit quality vary widely
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selecting and stabilizing specific genetic parameters through controlled crossing between parent varieties. The F1 hybrid 'DrisStrawSixtyEight' exhibits optimized parameters including consistent yield, disease tolerance, and fruit quality characteristics that differ from the parent varieties, achieving improved reliability and adaptability simultaneously through genetic parameter optimization
2Productivity
If new strawberry varieties are developed to improve yield and quality, then fruit quality and shipping capacity improve, but stability and true-to-type propagation must be ensured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by conducting extensive preliminary testing and evaluation of the F1 hybrid before commercial release. The variety underwent stability testing through multiple propagation cycles and field trials to ensure true-to-type propagation and consistent performance, establishing reliability before widespread distribution
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms through systematic evaluation and testing of progeny plants. Performance data from field trials, propagation stability assessments, and fruit quality measurements were used to verify that the variety maintains its characteristics across generations, ensuring both high productivity and genetic stability
3Stability of the object's composition
If strawberry plants are propagated asexually via stolons, then genetic consistency is maintained, but time and resources for propagation must be managed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes propagation parameters by selecting parent varieties that produce vigorous stolons with high survival rates. The F1 hybrid exhibits improved stolon production characteristics, including faster establishment and higher rooting efficiency, which reduces propagation time while maintaining genetic consistency through asexual reproduction
