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.

TN7545
Number of capsules harvested:  1

Seed Assay Number:   6611
Packet Code Number:   1A06611EN
Harvest date:   10/15/2012
Received as:   Green capsule
Date Received:   10/16/2012
Number of Capsules Combined:   1
Comments:   Packet received was a folded envelope.
Capsule appears clean and intact.
Seed coats are fairly well developed on the carpels, but have no embryos. It is likely that a capsule this age would have some sign of embryos if they were actually going to develop. It is likely that the capsule aborted because embryos were not developing.
