More Accurate Seed CountsOver the last decade, LEHLE SEEDS has focused on optimizing our growing conditions for Arabidopsis. As a of our efforts, our mean seed size and weight has increased. However, increases in the seed weight reduces the seed count per gram. Thus, the traditional rule of thumb value of 50,000 Arabidopsis seeds per gram does not reflect the seeds we are producing now. As such, I have decided that our seed labels going forward will report seed counts based on samples containing 500 or more Arabidopsis seeds. Fred Lehle, Ph.D.New Item Cat.
