Solution Overview

Problem

Existing Scaevola plants lack compact and freely-branching varieties with numerous attractive flowers and good garden performance, necessitating the development of a new cultivar that addresses these traits.

Innovation Solution

The development of a new Scaevola cultivar, 'DSCAPW1335', characterized by upright to trailing growth habit, dense branching, moderately vigorous growth, narrow medium green leaves, and large white flowers, achieved through asexual reproduction by vegetative cuttings.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If existing Scaevola plants are used, then they have basic growth and flowering, but they lack compact and freely-branching varieties with numerous attractive flowers and good garden performance

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveflowering performanceVSAvoidgarden performance

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by selecting and stabilizing specific growth and flowering parameters through asexual reproduction. The cultivar 'DSCAPW1335' exhibits optimized parameters including compact habit, free branching, vigorous growth, and continuous flowering that collectively improve both productivity and adaptability for garden performance

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If a new cultivar with compact and freely-branching habit is developed, then garden performance is improved, but genetic stability and true-to-type reproduction must be maintained

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvegarden performanceVSAvoidgenetic stability

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs self-service through asexual reproduction by vegetative terminal cuttings, where the plant propagates itself true-to-type without genetic variation. This method automatically ensures genetic stability and consistent reproduction of the desired compact, freely-branching characteristics across generations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of using sexual reproduction which creates genetic variation, the patent inverts the approach by using asexual reproduction. This reversal ensures that the genetic composition remains stable and true-to-type while maintaining the improved garden performance characteristics

Inventive Principle:

Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

3Stability of the object's composition

If vegetative cuttings are used for propagation, then genetic stability is maintained, but the time and conditions for successful rooting must be optimized

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvegenetic stabilityVSAvoidrooting time

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes rooting parameters by specifying temperature ranges (25°C to 35°C for summer, 7°C to 18°C for winter) and timeframes (2-3 weeks in summer, 21-30 days in winter). These parameter optimizations reduce the loss of time while maintaining genetic stability through asexual propagation
