Mandevilla hybrida Alegnuflor702 Compact Growth and Early Flowering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for new Mandevilla plant cultivars with strong stems and numerous attractive flowers, as existing varieties may lack compactness, early flowering, and consistent flower color, especially under varying environmental conditions.
Innovation Solution
The development of Mandevilla hybrida 'Alegnuflor702' through controlled cross-pollination between proprietary selection X02.5 and Mandevilla hybrida 'Sunmandecrim', resulting in a compact, upright plant with strong stems and light red-purple flowers, which reproduces true to type through asexual reproduction by cuttings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing Mandevilla varieties are used, then they may have attractive flowers, but they lack compactness and early flowering habit
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selecting and breeding plants with specific genetic parameters that control flowering time and plant habit. The inventor identified and propagated plants with early flowering characteristics and compact growth patterns, changing the genetic parameters of the cultivar to achieve reliable early flowering while maintaining compactness.
2Quantity of substance
If existing Mandevilla varieties are used, then they may have large flowers, but they lack strong stems and compact growth habit
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by developing a cultivar with differentiated characteristics - compact growth habit and strong stems in the vegetative structure, while maintaining attractive flowers. The plant exhibits localized strength in its stem structure to support compact form and flowering, rather than uniform growth throughout.
3Adaptability or versatility
If Mandevilla plants are grown under varying environmental conditions, then they show phenotype variation, but genotype remains stable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent acknowledges that environmental parameters (temperature, light intensity, cultural practices) cause phenotype variation in Mandevilla plants. The inventor selected plants with stable genotypes that maintain consistent core characteristics despite environmental fluctuations, achieving adaptability while preserving essential phenotypic consistency through careful breeding parameter selection.
