Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a new variety of Phlox paniculata that exhibits a vigorous growth habit and distinctive violet inflorescences with pink eyes, which are not currently met by existing commercial varieties.
Innovation Solution
The new variety 'Barsixtyfive' is developed through open pollination, characterized by a vigorous growth habit, violet inflorescences with pink eyes, and is propagated via vegetative cuttings, retaining its characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing commercial varieties are used, then current market options are available, but they do not exhibit the desired vigorous growth habit and distinctive violet inflorescences with pink eyes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a new variety with specific parameter changes in growth habit (vigorous) and flower characteristics (violet inflorescences with pink eyes), creating a distinct phenotype that meets the unmet market requirements while maintaining reliability of these traits through controlled breeding
2Reliability
If new variety traits are developed, then distinctive characteristics are achieved, but propagation and trait retention must be ensured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs vegetative cutting propagation to create genetic copies of the new variety, ensuring that the distinctive traits (vigorous growth habit and violet inflorescences with pink eyes) are faithfully replicated in successive generations without the need for repeated sexual breeding
