Odycorinth New Guinea Impatiens Cultivar Traits
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing New Guinea Impatiens cultivars lack drought tolerance, large flower size, and attractive foliage and flower coloration, which limits their adaptability and aesthetic appeal in varying environmental conditions.
Innovation Solution
The development of the 'Odycorinth' cultivar, resulting from a cross-pollination between proprietary selections of Impatiens hawkeri, exhibits a vigorous, freely branching habit with dense growth, dark green leaves, and large bright orange flowers positioned above the foliage, offering improved drought tolerance and visual appeal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing New Guinea Impatiens cultivars are used, then they can be grown in standard conditions, but they lack drought tolerance and have limited adaptability to varying environmental conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by developing a new cultivar 'Odycorinth' with modified physiological parameters that enhance drought tolerance. The breeding program selected plants exhibiting superior adaptability to varying environmental conditions, resulting in a cultivar that maintains reliable performance across different stress levels while improving overall adaptability.
2Productivity
If existing cultivars are used, then they have basic flowering capability, but they lack large flower size and attractive foliage and flower coloration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple desirable traits from different parent plants into a single cultivar. The breeding program combined large flower size, attractive orange coloration, and dark green foliage from the parent selections (code numbers 200104-03 and 200025) to create the 'Odycorinth' cultivar that exhibits all these features simultaneously, achieving high productivity in terms of aesthetic quality.
3Productivity
If existing cultivars are used, then they have standard growth habits, but they lack vigorous, freely branching habit with dense growth
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by enhancing specific structural characteristics of the plant. The 'Odycorinth' cultivar exhibits vigorous, freely branching habits with dense growth concentrated in key areas, creating an attractive mounded form. This localized enhancement of growth density and branching vigor improves overall productivity without requiring complex structural modifications.
