Default anyone want a C. crispa seed pod?

Hello,

Does anyone want a C. crispa seed pod? I don't know what to do with it. The people who asked for it aren't responding. I emailed Troy Meyers but never got a response either. One's already ruptured so I'm just going to trim the other one and toss it. I don't know if these are viable seeds either.

I thought about sneaking into my lab and plating it myself but I don't want to be fired

Got the capsule and the seed looks great! The capsule was slightly dehisced in a couple places so disinfected the seed in 5% bleach for 5 min and then gave 5 rinses. A tremendous amount of seed! I did plate one with seed straight from the capsule just to see how it does. 9 mother plates each sown with roughly 1 ml of seed solution. Trying not to sow so thickly. They still have a ton of seed each. Many thanks, Jeff; if all goes well I’ll get you some flasks in a year or so!

Thanks so much for taking and plating the seeds! I'm glad there were lots of seeds and that it didn't go to waste Looking forward to them germinating!!

You are welcome! I couldn’t get a good pic but looked at the plated seed under the loop and they’re all packed with fat embryos. Should have a high rate of germination.

Additionally, I only used about 1/20th of the seed so will save the rest to play with different media recipes. As there are 9 mothers, I’m also happy to send germ plates out to anyone looking to work on replating. Of course this is based on germination rate and how they’re looking.
