Default Re: germination

I don't want to be a nay sayer, but Musa doesn't seem to have the typical embryo. On most seeds when you break it open there is a recognizeable embryo. On Musa, Ensete, and Heliconia there is little more than shell, white starch(waiting for activation), and a jell like plug being the barrier to the outside. Maybe the white starchy substance can be used, but it hardly seems like good plant material compared to other embryos that are in the plant world.
