Hello Hal,
Thank you for the input and encouragement. At 69 years of age, I may not have
enough years remaining although in very good health and my Mother is still
living at 93.
Question for you or anyone else and pardon me while my ignorance hangs out.
Most of the seeds produced by Rosseyanka and Nikita's gift have an embryo but
no cotyledons, or the white flesh which I've seen called cotyledon flesh and
maybe it is endosperm. My Japanese friend was able to obtain plants from two or
three of these flat seeds I sent him using embryo rescue techniques and
invitro. My question is, What is the significance of these flat seeds? Fully
developed seeds, that is with full cotyledons, will germinate. Is there a way to
feed the developing sperm without using sterile conditions at home?
Jerry
