Hypericum Allprimo Compact Habit High Fruit Density
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Hypericum cultivars lack a combination of short plant habit, high fruit density, and attractive fruit color, making them less suitable for garden and container cultivation.
Innovation Solution
The development of Hypericum hybrida 'Allprimo' through planned breeding, which results in a relatively short, vigorously growing plant with dark green leaves, glossy whitish fruits, and a freely flowering habit, distinguishing it from other cultivars like 'Allavanti' in terms of plant height, leaf size, and fruit shape and color.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If existing Hypericum cultivars are used, then general garden performance is maintained, but plant height is too tall and fruit density is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selecting and breeding Hypericum plants with specific genetic parameters that result in shorter plant height (under 30 cm) while simultaneously increasing fruit density (over 100 fruits per plant). This involves changing the genetic parameters of the plant through controlled breeding programs to achieve the desired trade-off between compact size and high fruit production.
2Shape
If existing Hypericum cultivars are used, then growth vigor is maintained, but fruit shape and color are less attractive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by focusing on improving specific local characteristics of the fruit - namely shape (flattened globular) and color (glossy whitish) - while maintaining overall high fruit density. This involves selecting parent plants and breeding combinations that specifically enhance these local fruit qualities without sacrificing the overall productivity of the plant.
3Adaptability or versatility
If plant habit is made shorter, then container suitability is improved, but growth vigor may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the growth parameters of the plant to achieve a compact habit (short height and width) while maintaining vigorous growth characteristics. This involves selecting genetic parameters that enable the plant to grow vigorously in terms of leaf production and overall health while keeping the overall dimensions suitable for container cultivation.
