Verbena hybrida cultivar VEAZ0059 trait stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a new Verbena hybrida cultivar that combines specific characteristics such as medium-sized inflorescences, deep purple flowers, medium green undivided leaves, and an upright plant habit, which are not adequately met by existing Verbena varieties, particularly in terms of stability across varying environmental conditions.
Innovation Solution
The development of Verbena hybrida cultivar 'VEAZ0059' through a planned breeding program, which fixes the desired characteristics through asexual reproduction and retains them across generations, with specific traits including medium-sized flowers, deep purple color, medium green leaves, and an upright habit, despite potential variations in temperature, light intensity, and day length.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a new Verbena hybrida cultivar is developed through planned breeding to achieve specific characteristics (medium-sized inflorescences, deep purple flowers, medium green undivided leaves, upright habit), then the desired trait combination is achieved, but the stability of these traits across varying environmental conditions remains insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by systematically varying breeding parameters (parental selection, pollination timing, growth conditions) to achieve the desired trait combination. The cultivar 'VEAZ0059' was developed through controlled changes in breeding parameters including selecting specific parental plants and controlling pollination conditions to fix the desired characteristics of medium-sized inflorescences, deep purple flowers, medium green undivided leaves, and upright habit.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the cultivar is propagated through asexual reproduction to retain desired characteristics, then trait stability is improved, but the ability to adapt to different environmental conditions may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies copying through asexual propagation methods (cuttings, tissue culture) to produce genetically identical copies of the selected plant. This ensures that the desired phenotype characteristics are precisely replicated and maintained across multiple generations, achieving stable trait inheritance while allowing the cultivar to be distributed and grown in various environmental conditions.
