摘要： Provided are methods for growing and shipping sprouts and microgreens in the same container, growing while in shipment using moisture provided in a water-absorbent layer, with optional added beneficials, and including methods for producing sprouts and microgreens for consumption, and for pharmaceutical/nutriceutical use, comprising growth of sprouts in retail-ready containers, the container comprising a moisture-retaining layer of agar media or the like providing water for growth and obviating the need for irrigation during sprout growth. In certain aspects, media is supplemented with beneficial organisms or additives such as probiotic microbes, vitamins (e.g., B12), cofactors, nutrients, and other items (e.g., phytochemicals, natural colors, and antioxidants) which promote the growth of the beneficial microbes on the product, and/or which become incorporated into the product. In certain aspects, added beneficial microorganisms are selected to compete/antagonize human pathogens such as Listeria, Salmonella, enterohaemorrhagic E. coli, Yersinia, and/or spoilage organisms (e.g., Erwinia, Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas).

摘要： Use of motion sensing and tracking equipment to image, monitor, track, and/or determine a parameter of plant growth kinetics (e.g., plant leaf elongation and height growth rate). Some embodiments concern methods for screening plants for the presence of one or more agronomic trait(s), and/or to study the growth kinetics of particular plants and cultivars, for example, in an automated high-throughput platform.

摘要： A method for moving wetted seeds from a tank includes positioning a first batch of seeds within a tank, directing water from a water source to the tank, wetting the first batch of seeds within the tank with the water from the water source to initiate germination of the first batch of seeds, releasing the first batch of seeds from the tank to a pod line in fluid communication with an assembly line grow pod after a predetermined time, and subsequent to releasing the first batch of seeds from the tank, detecting a level of seeds remaining in the tank.

摘要： A method for wetting seeds for an assembly line grow pod includes positioning a first batch of seeds within a tank, directing water from a water source to the tank through a lower portion of the tank, wetting the first batch of seeds within the tank with the water from the water source, initiating germination of the first batch of seeds, draining the water from the tank after a predetermined submersion time, subsequent to draining the water from the tank, directing water from the water source to the tank through the lower portion of the tank, wetting the first batch of seeds within the tank with the water from the water source for the predetermined submersion time, and releasing the first batch of seeds from the tank to a pod line in fluid communication with an assembly line grow pod after a predetermined time.

摘要： A seed sampling system is provided having an automated seed loading assembly including a seed bin and being operable to singulate seeds from a plurality of seeds within the seed bin. The system also includes an automated seed sampling assembly operable to remove tissue samples from the singulated seeds, and an automated seed transport assembly operable to transfer the singulated seeds from the seed loading assembly to the seed sampling assembly. The seed transport assembly includes multiple retention members. Each of the retention members is movable relative to the seed loading assembly and to the seed sampling assembly. The seed transport assembly is operable to position one of the multiple retention members adjacent to the seed loading assembly for engaging one of the singulated seeds, while positioning another of the retention members adjacent to the seed sampling assembly for presenting another of the singulated seeds to the seed sampling assembly.

摘要： To provide an accelerated aging seed testing kit system, a single sheet of plastic or other suitable formable sheet material is pressed into the shape of a compartment base having recesses for mounting a seed holder. A seed holder that includes a seed support and a seed support holder is formed. The seed support holder is formed of a single sheet of plastic having radially extending tabs that fit into the recesses of the container to support the seed support above the rest of the test kit. A lid is formed out of one piece of plastic having a bendable tab to serve as a port and the openings and connecting points of the lid and seed holder are positioned so they can only fit together in one orientation having the port above a bypass channel.

摘要： Provided herein are systems and methods for the automation of seed planting and analysis comprising automated planting of the seeds, germination, and analysis. The methods generally comprise conveying containers containing seeds to an automated seed planting station, wherein each container includes a machine-readable tag, planting at least some of the seeds in the container onto respective planting trays, wherein each planting tray includes a machine-readable tag, allowing the seeds to germinate, and analyzing the germinated seeds. The systems generally comprise a seed planting system and a planting verification and correction system. Also provided herein are backlit templates comprising a light source and a power interface configured to connect to a power source to power the light source.

摘要： A shell cracking tool is provided. The shell cracking tool has first portion with a sequential arrangement of a threaded portion, a visible trough and a block surface. The second portion of the tool provides shaft dimensioned and adapted to operatively associate with the threaded portion so that an operational end of the shaft compresses a seed in the trough against the block surface. Thereby, the shell cracking tool selectively urges cracks in the shell of a seed that this visible in the trough, to the point where the slightly cracked shell is more likely to germinate as compared to its pre-cracked state.
