Vanda SPCDW1209 Cultivar Grey-Orange Flower Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a new cultivar of Vanda hybrid that exhibits unique and stable characteristics, particularly in flower color and foliage, which are not adequately addressed by existing varieties.
Innovation Solution
The cultivar 'SPCDW1209' is developed through the crossing of Vanda 'ON137' and 'NCMVN', exhibiting grey-orange colored flowers with dark spots and bright green foliage, achieved through tissue culture propagation, which maintains stability across varying environmental conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing Vanda varieties are used, then common horticultural characteristics are maintained, but unique and stable flower color characteristics are not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selectively breeding and crossing specific parent varieties (Vanda 'ON137' and Vanda 'NCMVN') with desired flower color characteristics. Through controlled cross-pollination and selection of offspring with stable grey-orange coloring, the invention changes the genetic parameters of the plant to achieve reliable and unique flower color stability that distinguishes it from existing varieties.
2Reliability
If tissue culture propagation is used, then stable reproduction of unique characteristics is achieved, but propagation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the copying principle through tissue culture propagation, where plantlets are cloned from parent plants to produce genetically identical copies. This allows the unique grey-orange flower color and bright green foliage characteristics to be replicated reliably across multiple generations, ensuring true-to-type reproduction while maintaining the distinct horticultural features of the new cultivar.
3Reliability
If new cultivar characteristics are developed, then distinct horticultural features are achieved, but development time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by conducting extensive breeding work and selecting parent varieties before the actual cultivar development. The crossing of Vanda 'ON137' and Vanda 'NCMVN' was planned and executed in advance, with systematic selection and propagation protocols established beforehand. This preliminary organization of the breeding program accelerates the overall time required to develop and release the new cultivar with its distinctive grey-orange flowers and bright green foliage.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The cultivar 'SPCDW1209' displays consistent grey-orange flower color and bright green foliage, differing from parent and commercial varieties, ensuring stable reproduction and distinct horticultural characteristics.
Implementation Method 1
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar 'SPCDW1209' was first performed at a commercial laboratory belonging to the inventor in Chonburi, Thailand by tissue culture (propagation was performed using the base of leaves) in December of 2006.
