Automated system and method for harvesting and multi-stage screening of plant embryos

摘要: A method and system for automatically harvesting screening plant embryos in multiple stages to identify those that are suited incorporation into manufactured seeds provided. The includes generally three steps. First, sorted according their rough size/shape also singulated discrete embryo units, example by vibrational sieving. Second, the classified using a first classification method. For example, each may be imaged camera image is used ascertain embryo's more precise size/shape. Third, have passed method, second applied. pre-developed algorithm classify putative germination vigor applied same likely germinate.
