Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Current raspberry varieties lack a combination of consistent fruit production across multiple seasons, arching plant habit, and specific fruit characteristics such as light-red color, broad conical shape, and strong glossiness, which are not adequately addressed by existing varieties like 'Adelita' and 'Lupita'.

Innovation Solution

The new raspberry variety 'Plapink 14103' is developed through crossing '06.13R.46' and '08.10R.12', exhibiting an arching habit, medium green leaves, light-red, broad conical fruits with strong glossiness, and consistent production from September to December and April to June, distinguished by its unique traits like overlapping leaflets and weak anthocyanin coloration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If existing raspberry varieties like 'Adelita' and 'Lupita' are used, then fruit production is achieved, but consistent fruit production across multiple seasons with specific fruit characteristics (light-red color, broad conical shape, strong glossiness) is not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconsistent fruit productionVSAvoidfruit characteristic consistency

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by developing a new raspberry variety with specific controlled parameters: light-red color (RHS red group 41B-41A), broad conical shape, and strong glossiness. These parameter specifications ensure consistent fruit characteristics across multiple seasons while maintaining productivity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If new variety 'Plapink 14103' is developed with specific fruit characteristics, then fruit quality is improved, but plant complexity increases due to multiple breeding requirements

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefruit characteristic precisionVSAvoidbreeding program complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple desirable traits into a single new variety 'Plapink 14103' through controlled breeding. By combining light-red color, broad conical shape, strong glossiness, and consistent multi-season production into one variety, the patent achieves precise fruit characteristics without requiring multiple separate breeding programs.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If vigorous plant growth is achieved, then productivity is improved, but disease resistance may be compromised due to increased metabolic activity

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefruit yieldVSAvoiddisease susceptibility

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by selecting and stabilizing specific plant parameters that balance vigor with disease resistance. The new variety maintains vigorous growth for high productivity while incorporating genetic traits that provide disease resistance, achieving both goals simultaneously through controlled parameter optimization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes
