Mandevilla OOSMARE1 Cultivar Compact Growth and Continuous Flowering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a new Mandevilla cultivar that exhibits a compact growth habit, dark green and glossy foliage, large bright red flowers, and continuous flowering, which are not consistently achieved by existing Mandevilla sanderi varieties under varying environmental conditions.
Innovation Solution
The cultivar 'OOSMARE1' is developed through asexual reproduction by softwood stem cuttings, showcasing a unique combination of compact growth, dark green glossy foliage, and continuous flowering with large bright red flowers, maintaining these traits across different environmental conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing Mandevilla sanderi varieties are grown under varying environmental conditions, then flower color and flowering persistence may vary, but achieving consistent compact growth habit, dark green glossy foliage, large bright red flowers, and continuous flowering is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selecting and propagating a specific cultivar ('OOSMARE1') with optimized genetic parameters that ensure consistent expression of compact growth habit, dark green glossy foliage, large bright red flowers, and continuous flowering. This genetic parameter selection resolves the contradiction by establishing reliable trait expression across environmental variations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses asexual reproduction by softwood stem cuttings to create identical copies of the selected cultivar. This copying method ensures that the desirable traits are replicated exactly across multiple plants and generations, maintaining reliability while allowing the cultivar to be propagated widely to different environmental conditions.
2Duration of action of stationary object
If selection is made for compact growth habit and continuous flowering, then flowering persistence improves, but flower size and color brightness may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves this contradiction by selecting a cultivar with optimized genetic parameters that simultaneously express compact growth habit, continuous flowering, and large bright red flowers. The multi-parameter selection process identifies plants that excel in multiple traits concurrently, rather than prioritizing one trait at the expense of others.
3Stability of the object's composition
If multiple generations are propagated to stabilize traits, then trait stability improves, but time and resources for propagation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses asexual reproduction through softwood stem cuttings to create genetically identical copies of the selected cultivar. This method stabilizes all desirable traits simultaneously in one generation rather than requiring multiple generations of sexual reproduction and selection, significantly reducing the time and resources needed to achieve trait stability.
