Solution Overview

Problem

Ornamental plant breeders face challenges in developing superior New Guinea Impatiens varieties with novel characteristics, as existing methods lack predictability and efficiency in generating unique genetic combinations, leading to high research costs and unpredictability in breeding outcomes.

Innovation Solution

The development of the New Guinea Impatiens variety SAKIMP069, which is stable and uniform, allows for vegetative propagation and tissue culture production, enabling the use of advanced breeding techniques such as mutation breeding, gene editing, and protoplast fusion to introduce desired traits, and can be used as a parental line in breeding programs to create new varieties.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breeding methods are used to develop New Guinea Impatiens varieties, then breeders can select plants with desired traits, but the process lacks predictability and efficiency resulting in high research costs and unpredictable outcomes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictability of breeding outcomesVSAvoidefficiency of variety development
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by establishing a stable, uniform parental line (SAKIMP069) before conducting breeding operations. This pre-established genetic baseline enables predictable outcomes in subsequent crosses, as the parental line's uniformity ensures consistent trait inheritance patterns, directly addressing the unpredictability issue in traditional breeding methods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by transitioning from traditional sexual breeding to advanced techniques including mutation breeding, gene editing, and protoplast fusion. These methodological parameter changes enable precise control over genetic modifications, significantly improving both the predictability and efficiency of developing new varieties with desired characteristics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If advanced breeding techniques such as mutation breeding and gene editing are applied, then desired traits can be introduced more efficiently, but the complexity of the breeding process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of trait introductionVSAvoidcomplexity of breeding process
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs an intermediary approach by using a stable, uniform parental line (SAKIMP069) as a mediator between traditional breeding and advanced techniques. This intermediary line simplifies the complexity of advanced breeding methods by providing a consistent genetic background, making the application of mutation breeding, gene editing, and protoplast fusion more manageable and efficient

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If breeders use multiple breeding techniques including crossing and tissue culture, then more genetic combinations can be generated, but the cost and time required for breeding increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenetic combination diversityVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing the SAKIMP069 parental line with desirable characteristics before initiating breeding programs. This preliminary preparation enables rapid generation of diverse genetic combinations through crossing and tissue culture, as the uniform parental line ensures consistent and predictable results, thereby reducing the time required for breeding development

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements continuity of useful action by integrating multiple breeding techniques (crossing, tissue culture, mutation breeding, gene editing) into a continuous workflow. The stable parental line enables seamless transitions between different breeding methods, maintaining continuous productive action and accelerating the generation of diverse genetic combinations without significant time losses

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
