Re: Basjoo seed
Variation in seed will only come with outcrossing to other M. basjoo plants, such as in a wild population. If you self-pollinate a plant, or pollinate it with a plant of the same clone, then no variation will be created. I have some old wild collected M. basjoo seeds but they never germinated, if I can next semester, I will try embryo rescue tissue culture to produce some plants from them, I've had some success from old seeds with this method.
