New Guinea Impatiens Cultivar Duesspfire Uniformity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current Impatiens×hybrida cultivars lack uniformity and attractive flower characteristics, with variations in environmental conditions affecting phenotype without changing genotype, and existing cultivars like 'Misato FG3' and 'SAKIMP022' have different flower colors and growth habits.
Innovation Solution
A new cultivar 'Duesspfire' with a naturally occurring mutation exhibiting upright, spreading, and freely branching growth habit, dark green leaves, early and frequent flowering, and bright red flowers, which is more compact than 'Misato FG3' and 'SAKIMP022', and maintains stability through asexual reproduction by terminal vegetative cuttings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If existing Impatiens×hybrida cultivars are used, then they have various flower colors and growth habits, but they lack uniformity and do not exhibit consistent attractive flower characteristics
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selecting a natural mutation that alters the flower color parameter from dark red to bright red. This specific parameter change creates a uniform cultivar with consistent attractive characteristics while maintaining the species' adaptability through asexual reproduction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by focusing on specific desirable traits (bright red flower color, compact growth habit, uniformity) within the Impatiens×hybrida species. The mutation affects local characteristics while preserving the overall plant's adaptability and garden performance.
2Adaptability or versatility
If environmental conditions vary, then phenotype may vary somewhat, but genotype remains unchanged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service through asexual reproduction by terminal vegetative cuttings, where the plant reproduces itself true to type. This method maintains genetic consistency and phenotype uniformity across generations while the plant naturally adapts to environmental variations.
3Manufacturing precision
If new cultivars with distinct characteristics are developed, then they offer improved compactness and flower color, but they require stable reproduction to maintain traits
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service through asexual reproduction by terminal vegetative cuttings, where the plant reproduces itself true to type. This method maintains genetic consistency and phenotype uniformity across generations, ensuring that the distinctive characteristics of bright red flowers and compact growth are reliably transmitted.
