DrisStrawTwentyFive Strawberry Yield and Fruit Size
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current strawberry varieties lack high yield, large conic-shaped fruit, and strong sweetness, which are desirable traits for horticultural practices in Ventura County, California.
Innovation Solution
The new strawberry variety 'DrisStrawTwentyFive' (Fragaria×ananassa) is developed through asexual propagation via tissue culture and vegetative cuttings, exhibiting high yield, very large conic-shaped fruit, and strong sweetness, derived from the proprietary parents '18L33' and '192M122', with distinct characteristics retained through successive propagations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional strawberry varieties are grown under normal horticultural practices, then they produce fruit, but the yield is not high and the fruit size is not very large
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by developing a new strawberry variety with specific genetic parameters that differ from conventional varieties. The variety 'DrisStrawTwentyFive' exhibits altered growth parameters including higher yield potential, larger fruit size (conic-shaped), and modified phenotypical characteristics such as dense pubescence and thick stolons, which collectively resolve the contradiction between productivity and fruit quantity/size
2Productivity
If conventional strawberry varieties are grown under normal horticultural practices, then they produce fruit, but the sweetness is not strong
Solution Approach 1:
The patent achieves improved sweetness through parameter changes in the variety's genetic composition and metabolic profile. The new variety 'DrisStrawTwentyFive' demonstrates enhanced sugar content and flavor intensity compared to conventional varieties, while maintaining reliability through consistent expression of these traits across successive asexual propagations, thereby resolving the contradiction between productivity and flavor consistency
3Stability of the object's composition
If the new variety is propagated asexually via tissue culture and vegetative cuttings, then distinctive characteristics are retained, but the propagation process is complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs copying through asexual propagation methods (tissue culture and vegetative cuttings) to reproduce identical copies of the parent plant. This ensures that the distinctive characteristics of 'DrisStrawTwentyFive' are faithfully retained in successive generations, resolving the contradiction between characteristic retention and propagation complexity by using established horticultural copying techniques
