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 is light yellow to the naked eye, and lightweight and easily becomes airborne. Medium sized seeds are short-rice shaped, have one blunt end, and have no embryos. Dark inclusions in the seeds in the photo are trapped air.
