| Once a batch of seeds passes the germination test, the next step is to clean and package some seeds in small lots to be put into freezers. For each seed variety, five small bags are filled, labeled, and grouped together in a larger bag for storage. For these freezer samples, NS/S staff collect seeds from as many different plants as possible, because this will help to preserve the diversity within the variety. Here you can see small bags of three different sunflower varieties destined for the freezer. |
