Miniature Rose ‘KORpot093’ Breeding via Artificial Pollination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The horticultural industry lacks a miniature rose plant with attractive, orange-yellow flowers with red edges, compact growth habit, and vigorous vegetation that is stable and easily propagated, making it suitable for ornamental use in parks, gardens, and residential settings.
Innovation Solution
A new variety of Rosa hybrida, 'KORpot093', was developed through artificial pollination combining an unnamed seedling and 'KORpedia' as the seed parent and 'KORpot007' as the pollen parent, resulting in a plant with distinct orange-yellow flowers, compact growth, and vigorous vegetation, which can be propagated via vegetative cuttings maintaining its characteristics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If artificial pollination is used to create new rose varieties, then desired characteristics can be combined, but the process is time-consuming and requires selective study to identify the single best plant
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by conducting artificial pollination between selected parents ((unnamed seedling x 'KORpedia') x 'KORpot007') before the actual variety is fully developed. This allows the desired characteristics to be combined in advance, and the selective study can identify the best plant from the resulting seeds, thereby resolving the time-consuming nature of variety creation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If aminiature rose plant with attractive orange-yellow flowers, compact growth habit, and vigorous vegetation is developed, then ornamental value is improved, but such a plant does not currently exist in the horticultural industry
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the desirable characteristics of different parent varieties to create a new miniature rose plant. The seed parent (unnamed seedling x 'KORpedia') contributes to flower formation, while the pollen parent ('KORpot007') contributes to growth habit and vigor. This combining of traits from different sources produces the desired orange-yellow flowers with red edges, compact growth, and vigorous vegetation, thereby resolving the lack of suitable varieties in the industry.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a new rose variety is created through artificial pollination, then unique characteristics are achieved, but propagation stability must be verified through asexual propagation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies copying by verifying propagation stability through asexual propagation methods such as vegetative cuttings. This process creates genetic copies of the new variety ('KORpot093') to ensure that the unique characteristics (orange-yellow flowers with red edges, compact growth, vigorous vegetation) are consistently transmitted from one generation to another. The homogeneous and stable characteristics observed in the propagated plants confirm the reliability of the variety.
