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 yellow to the naked eye, and free flowing. Small seeds are irregularly shaped, irregularly curved, and have small sized elongated embryos centrally located which are 1/3 the length of the seed when present. Embryos counted as "good" have very low density, as they did in TN2110 which had a very low yield, however.
