Phalaenopsis Orchid Cultivar PHALGURZON Copper Striped Flower Pattern

The patent applies preliminary action by conducting cross-pollination breeding in advance to develop the desired copper striped and netted flower patterns with red-purple lips before commercial production. The multi-year breeding program (cross-pollination in July 2010, selection in May 2013) created the unique flower characteristics that are now fixed and can be reproduced through tissue culture, saving time in future commercialization.

The patent uses tissue culture technology to create exact copies of the selected plant with the desired flower pattern. Instead of repeated cross-pollination, the breeding result is copied through meristem culture and in-vitro propagation, allowing rapid multiplication of plants with identical copper striped and netted flower patterns without additional breeding time.

The patent implements feedback mechanisms in the tissue culture process by selecting and propagating only those plants that exhibit the desired copper striped and netted flower patterns with red-purple lips. The continuous monitoring and selection during propagation ensures that only true-to-type plants are multiplied, maintaining genetic fidelity while achieving high reproduction speed through the standardized tissue culture protocol.

The patent uses disposable sterile culture vessels and media in the tissue culture process to prevent contamination and genetic drift. Each culture is maintained under controlled sterile conditions with fresh media changes, ensuring genetic stability. The disposable nature of culture materials eliminates cross-contamination risks that could compromise genetic fidelity during rapid propagation.
