Sansevieria SUPSAN1608 Cultivar Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a new and distinct Sansevieria cultivar that exhibits a unique combination of compact growth habit, specific leaf shape, and coloration, which is stable across varying environmental conditions and not previously observed in commercially available varieties.
Innovation Solution
The cultivar 'SUPSAN1608' of Sansevieria cylindrica, developed through controlled pollination and asexual reproduction, displays a compact, upright growth habit, vertically flattened broad orbicular form, thick succulent foliage with a yellow-green hue and silver mottled radial bands, and moderate growth rate, adapted to specific environmental tolerances.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a new Sansevieria cultivar is developed through controlled pollination, then unique growth habit and leaf coloration are achieved, but stability across environmental conditions must be verified
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by conducting controlled pollination and selective breeding before commercial release. The cultivar underwent multiple generations of propagation (five generations of vegetative ground shoots) and stability testing to ensure characteristics are reliably reproduced before being introduced to the market.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms through systematic observation and evaluation of the cultivar's performance across different environmental conditions. The distinctness and stability of characteristics were confirmed through repeated observations and measurements, allowing the breeder to verify adaptability before commercial introduction.
2Reliability
If vegetative propagation is used for asexual reproduction, then true-to-type characteristics are maintained, but propagation time and generational stability must be ensured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by establishing a proven propagation protocol through five generations of vegetative ground shoot propagation before commercial release. This preliminary testing phase ensures that the propagation method reliably produces true-to-type plants, reducing the need for extensive future testing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by optimizing propagation conditions including temperature ranges (17-40 degrees Celsius) and rooting time (2-3 months). These parameter specifications allow for efficient propagation while maintaining characteristic stability, balancing propagation speed with reliability.
