Solution Overview

Problem

Ornamental plant breeders face challenges in developing superior New Guinea Impatiens varieties due to the unpredictability of genetic combinations and the difficulty in reproducing consistent traits, leading to high research costs and variability in breeding outcomes.

Innovation Solution

The development of the New Guinea Impatiens variety SAKIMP045, which is stable and uniform, allows for vegetative propagation and use in breeding programs through methods like tissue culture, mutation induction, and gene editing, enabling the creation of new varieties with desired traits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop New Guinea Impatiens varieties, then genetic diversity can be explored, but the outcomes are unpredictable and require high research costs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic diversityVSAvoidbreeding outcome consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by establishing a stable, uniform breeding line (SAKIMP045) before conducting breeding programs. This pre-developed baseline variety with consistent traits serves as a reliable foundation, allowing breeders to predictably combine known good traits while exploring new genetic diversity through controlled crossings with other varieties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional breeding methods are used, then genetic combinations can be explored, but the process is time-consuming and costly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreeding optionsVSAvoidbreeding program duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies copying by using vegetative propagation methods (tissue culture, cuttings) to create exact genetic copies of the SAKIMP045 breeding line. This allows rapid multiplication of the baseline variety without sexual reproduction, maintaining genetic uniformity while accelerating the breeding process and reducing the time needed to establish large populations for crossing programs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Reliability

If a stable and uniform breeding line is developed, then consistent traits can be reproduced, but genetic manipulation becomes necessary to maintain stability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrait consistencyVSAvoidbreeding method complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by utilizing the SAKIMP045 variety's inherent stability and uniformity to maintain itself through vegetative propagation. The breeding line serves its own replication needs through tissue culture and cutting methods, eliminating the need for complex genetic manipulation technologies while maintaining trait consistency across generations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
