Fuchsia KLEFU14838 Compact Upright Habit Small Flowers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a new and distinct variety of Fuchsia that exhibits a compact, upright plant habit and small flowers, which are not adequately addressed by existing Fuchsia varieties.
Innovation Solution
The development of the Fuchsia variety 'KLEFU14838' through controlled cross-pollination of proprietary lines '2010.5' and '2010.11', resulting in a plant that reproduces true to type via vegetative propagation and displays specific characteristics such as compact growth, small flowers, and a freely branching habit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If traditional Fuchsia varieties are used, then larger flowers are produced, but the plant habit becomes less compact and more sprawling
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selectively breeding to modify the genetic parameters of the Fuchsia plant, resulting in a new variety with altered growth habits and flower size parameters. The controlled cross-pollination between specific parent lines ('98FU1479' and '00FU1480') introduced genetic variations that produced the desired compact habit while maintaining small flower dimensions.
2Duration of action of moving object
If existing Fuchsia varieties are cultivated, then moderate flowering periods are achieved, but the duration and intensity of flowering are insufficient for commercial applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuity of useful action by developing a Fuchsia variety with extended flowering duration from spring to autumn. The plant continuously produces flowers throughout the growing season, with multiple flushes of blooms ensuring uninterrupted floral display. This continuous flowering capability significantly enhances the useful action period for ornamental purposes.
3Stability of the object's composition
If Fuchsia plants are propagated sexually, then genetic diversity is maintained, but true-to-type reproduction is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing controlled cross-pollination between selected parent lines before propagation. The parents '98FU1479' and '00FU1480' were specifically chosen and crossbred to establish the desired traits in the offspring 'KLEFU14838'. This preliminary genetic combination ensures that subsequent vegetative propagations will consistently reproduce the target characteristics.
