Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for new and distinct varieties of Pelargonium zonale that exhibit unique characteristics such as orange-red flowers and medium zonation in leaves, which are not currently available in existing varieties.

Innovation Solution

The development of a new Pelargonium variety, 'KLEPZ24874', resulting from a controlled cross between 'KLEPZ17484' and 'KLEPZ17154', which exhibits orange-red flowers and medium zonation in leaves, and is propagated true to type via stem cuttings.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing Pelargonium varieties are used, then current market options are available, but unique characteristics such as orange-red flowers and medium zonation are not present

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveunique characteristicsVSAvoidvariety availability

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by creating a new variety with specific floral color parameters (orange-red) and leaf zonation parameters (medium) that differ from existing varieties. This is achieved through controlled breeding to establish new phenotypic parameters that were not previously available in the market

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If a new variety is developed through controlled cross, then unique characteristics are achieved, but time and resources for breeding are increased

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveunique characteristicsVSAvoidbreeding time

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing controlled crosses between selected parent varieties to pre-establish the desired genetic combinations before commercial propagation. This preliminary breeding phase creates a foundation that accelerates subsequent propagation and market introduction of the new variety

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If vegetative propagation is used, then true to type reproduction is achieved, but propagation speed may be limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetrue to type reproductionVSAvoidpropagation speed

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies copying through vegetative propagation by stem cuttings, where new plants are created as exact genetic copies of the parent plant. This ensures true-to-type reproduction of the unique orange-red flower and medium zonation characteristics while enabling multiplication of the variety for commercial distribution

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying
