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.

Seed Assay Number:   570

Harvest date:   08/08/2000
Received as:   Dry capsule
Date Received:   08/31/2000
Number of Capsules Combined:   1
Comments:   This capsule also had seed with no embryos. Unfortunately, as this dried on the plant, it molded even more than the other other capsule, rendering it impossible to try to germinate in case there were a few viable seeds. The photograph is of molded seed still in the capsule.
