Lobularia ‘INLBUWHIGT’ for Compact, Extended Flowering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Lobularia plants lack compact growth, large flowers, and prolonged flowering periods, with variations in environmental conditions affecting their phenotype.
Innovation Solution
A new Lobularia cultivar 'INLBUWHIGT' developed through controlled cross-pollination, exhibiting compact, spreading growth, large white flowers, and a long flowering period, stable under various environmental conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If existing Lobularia plants are grown under standard conditions, then they exhibit normal growth, but they lack compact habit, large flowers, and prolonged flowering periods
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selecting and breeding plants with specific genetic parameters that result in compact growth habit, larger flower size, and extended flowering duration. The new cultivar 'INLBUWHIGT' exhibits these improved parameters through controlled cross-pollination and selection, achieving simultaneous improvement in plant shape and flowering productivity that was not present in existing varieties.
2Stability of the object's composition
If environmental conditions vary, then phenotype of existing Lobularia plants changes, but genotype remains stable
Solution Approach 1:
This principle is not directly applicable to this patent as it deals with plant breeding and genetic stability rather than disposable objects. The patent focuses on creating a stable genotype that produces consistent phenotype across environments through selective breeding.
3Shape
If new cultivar 'INLBUWHIGT' is developed through cross-pollination, then compact habit and large flowers are achieved, but breeding complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The breeding program was segmented into distinct phases: parent selection, controlled cross-pollination, progeny evaluation, and cultivar registration. This segmentation allowed systematic development of the new cultivar with compact habit and large flowers while managing the complexity of the breeding process through organized, step-by-step procedures.
