Solution Overview

Problem

Existing Syringa cultivars lack a combination of fast production cycle, compact growth habit, and strong powdery mildew resistance, making them less suitable for horticultural applications.

Innovation Solution

The development of a new Syringa hybrida cultivar, 'G13110', which exhibits light pink, fragrant flowers, dark green foliage, and a densely branched, compact growth habit, along with enhanced resistance to lilac powdery mildew.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional Syringa cultivars are used, then they have established growth patterns, but they lack a combination of fast production cycle, compact growth habit, and strong powdery mildew resistance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepowdery mildew resistanceVSAvoidproduction cycle speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by creating a new cultivar with modified genetic parameters that simultaneously achieve faster production cycle, compact growth habit, and strong powdery mildew resistance. The breeding program selected for specific trait combinations that alter the plant's growth parameters and disease resistance parameters, resolving the contradiction between reliability and productivity.

2Reliability

If traditional Syringa cultivars are used, then they have established growth patterns, but they lack a combination of fast production cycle, compact growth habit, and strong powdery mildew resistance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepowdery mildew resistanceVSAvoidproduction cycle duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program implements parameter changes by selecting for cultivars with altered developmental timing parameters. The new cultivar 'G13110' exhibits a shortened production cycle duration while maintaining or improving powdery mildew resistance, achieved through selective breeding for early flowering and compact growth parameters.

3Shape

If traditional Syringa cultivars are used, then they have established growth patterns, but they lack compact growth habit

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrowth habit compactnessVSAvoidproduction cycle speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by breeding for specific morphological parameters that create a compact growth habit. The new cultivar exhibits reduced internode length, increased branching density, and overall reduced plant dimensions, while simultaneously achieving a faster production cycle through early flowering selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Shape

If traditional Syringa cultivars are used, then they have established growth patterns, but they lack compact growth habit

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrowth habit compactnessVSAvoidpowdery mildew resistance
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The breeding program implements parameter changes by selecting for a combination of compact morphological parameters and disease resistance parameters. The new cultivar achieves dense branching and reduced plant size while simultaneously developing strong powdery mildew resistance through selective breeding, resolving the contradiction between shape and reliability.
