Incoming seed is examined to determine embryo count to help decide how much seed should be sown, and/or which capsule would be the best to sow. Permanent sample slides are also prepared. Each separate package of seed is examined because these are generally from separate capsules, which is what we request from our donors.

Comments:
Seed is off-white to the naked eye, and lightweight and easily becomes airborne. Moderately small seeds are windsock shaped, irregularly curved, and have moderately small sized elongated embryos centrally located which are 1/2 the length of the seed when present. The few embryos present are not very dense and they may or may not be viable.
