Solution Overview

Problem

Existing yellow nectarine varieties face challenges in maintaining fruit quality and shelf life, with limited resistance to climatic conditions and variability in fruit characteristics, affecting their commercial viability.

Innovation Solution

The 'NECTABINGO' yellow nectarine tree, resulting from a cross between 'NECTAGALA' and 'NECTAPRIMA', exhibits unique characteristics such as long shelf life, attractive appearance, and high sugar content, with improved resistance to climatic conditions and consistent fruiting, achieved through grafting on 'INRA GF677' rootstock trees.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of stationary object

If existing yellow nectarine varieties are cultivated, then fruit production is achieved, but shelf life is limited and fruit quality deteriorates over time

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveshelf lifeVSAvoidfruit quality consistency

Core Design Contradiction:

Duration of action of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by selecting and combining specific genetic parameters from parent varieties (NECTAGALA and NECTAPRIMA) to create a new variety with improved shelf life and quality consistency. The crossbreeding process modifies genetic parameters to achieve superior fruit keeping qualities while maintaining desirable taste and appearance characteristics.

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If existing yellow nectarine varieties are cultivated, then fruit production is achieved, but resistance to climatic conditions is limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveclimatic resistanceVSAvoidfruit production consistency

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes parameter changes through crossbreeding to modify climatic resistance parameters. By combining the climatic adaptability of NECTAGALA with the fruit production characteristics of NECTAPRIMA, the new variety achieves improved resistance to climatic conditions while maintaining consistent fruit production.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If existing yellow nectarine varieties are cultivated, then fruit production is achieved, but fruit characteristics vary significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefruit productionVSAvoidfruit characteristic consistency

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by carefully selecting and combining genetic parameters from parent varieties to achieve consistent fruit characteristics. The crossbreeding process stabilizes key parameters such as fruit size, color, flavor, and texture to ensure uniformity across the crop while maintaining high productivity.
