Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for a new Mandevilla cultivar that exhibits a compact growth habit, dark green and glossy foliage, large dark pink flower petals with a dark yellow corolla tube, and continuous flowering, which are not adequately met by existing varieties.

Innovation Solution

The cultivar 'OOSMANPIN1' is developed, characterized by its compact growth habit, dark green glossy foliage, large dark pink flower petals with a dark yellow corolla tube, and continuous flowering, achieved through asexual reproduction by softwood stem cuttings, maintaining stability across multiple generations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing Mandevilla varieties are used, then they can be grown and reproduced, but they fail to exhibit the desired combination of compact growth habit, dark green glossy foliage, large dark pink flowers with dark yellow corolla tube, and continuous flowering

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveflower production and plant characteristicsVSAvoidstability of unique traits

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses asexual reproduction by softwood stem cuttings to create exact genetic copies of the selected parent plant. This copying process has been maintained through more than 10 subsequent generations, ensuring that the unique combination of traits (compact growth, dark green glossy foliage, large dark pink flowers with dark yellow corolla tube, continuous flowering) is reliably preserved and true to type in all propagated plants.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

2Manufacturing precision

If selection from various Mandevilla sanderi plants is performed, then unique traits can be identified, but the traits may vary under different environmental conditions

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveselection of unique plant traitsVSAvoidphenotype consistency across environments

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent acknowledges that phenotypic expression may vary with environmental parameters such as temperature, day length, and light intensity. However, the genetic parameters have been stabilized through asexual reproduction, ensuring that while the phenotype may adjust to environmental conditions, the core unique traits remain genetically fixed and true to type across generations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

3Stability of the object's composition

If multiple generations of asexual reproduction are performed, then genetic stability is maintained, but the time and resources required for propagation increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvegenetic stabilityVSAvoidpropagation time

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes a continuous propagation system using softwood stem cuttings that can be performed throughout the growing season. This continuous propagation approach allows for steady production of genetically stable plants without requiring long interruption periods, maintaining both genetic stability and efficient use of time through ongoing reproductive cycles.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #20Continuity of useful action
