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.

|
Large, long, oar shaped seeds are very narrow for half their lengths, then, when embryos are present, widened suddenly at the embryo, much wider than the embryo, and gradually taper to a point at the apical end. Bad seeds are completely thin and less than half the length of the seeds with embryos. |
