Solution Overview

Problem

Ornamental plant breeders face challenges in developing superior New Guinea Impatiens varieties with novel characteristics, such as color, growth habit, and hardiness, due to the unpredictability of genetic combinations and the need for extensive research efforts to achieve desired traits.

Innovation Solution

The development of the New Guinea Impatiens variety SAKIMP056, which is stable and uniform, allows for vegetative propagation and tissue culture production, enabling the use of advanced breeding techniques like mutation breeding, gene editing, and protoplast fusion to introduce desired traits, and serves as a parental line in breeding programs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional seed, cutting, or tissue culture propagation is used for New Guinea Impatiens, then existing varieties can be reproduced, but novel characteristics and superior traits cannot be efficiently developed due to genetic unpredictability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenovel characteristicsVSAvoidgenetic combination predictability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by establishing a stable, uniform parental line (SAKIMP056) before breeding operations. This pre-developed line with consistent genetics serves as a reliable foundation for subsequent crossing programs, allowing breeders to systematically introduce novel traits while maintaining control over genetic outcomes through controlled pollination with this standardized parent.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If extensive research efforts are invested to develop superior varieties with desired traits, then novel characteristics can be achieved, but the breeding process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesired traitsVSAvoidbreeding process duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by utilizing mutation breeding techniques to intentionally alter genetic parameters of the SAKIMP056 line. By inducing controlled mutations and selecting for desired traits, the breeding process achieves novel characteristics more efficiently than traditional methods, reducing the time and resources required while maintaining systematic control over trait development.

Inventive Principle:
