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 somewhat fluffy. Medium sized seeds are airbags, somewhat curved, and have moderately small sized teardrop-shaped embryos centrally located which are 1/8 the length of the seed. Seeds with bad or no embryos are much smaller.
