Petunia Dopetsmarwired Cultivar Breeding
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for new compact, freely branching, and early-flowering Petunia plants with attractive flowers that can perform well in various environmental conditions and cultural practices, as existing varieties may not meet these criteria effectively.
Innovation Solution
A new cultivar of Petunia X hybrida, 'DOPETSMARWIRED', is developed through cross-pollination of proprietary selections TT20-K0785 and TT20-K0810, exhibiting a semi-upright, uniformly mounding habit, vigorous growth, and bright red and white to light yellow bi-colored flowers, with improved performance in containers and gardens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If existing Petunia varieties are used, then they may have certain flowering characteristics, but they do not simultaneously achieve compact size, free branching, and early flowering with attractive flowers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple desirable traits (compact size, free branching, early flowering, and attractive flower coloration) into a single cultivar through cross-pollination of selected parent lines, resolving the contradiction by integrating multiple performance aspects into one unified plant variety that excels across different environmental conditions
2Shape
If Petunia plants are made more vigorous and upright, then growth habit improves, but flower size may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by directing vigorous upright growth to the stem and leaf structure while maintaining adequate flower size through selective breeding, allowing different parts of the plant to have optimized characteristics - the stem provides structural upright habit while the flowers maintain sufficient size and attractive bi-colored patterning
