Hi All,
I've been looking for banana seeds for my research project and thought I'd ask the Bananas.org community for help. My research project is quite complex and large, but in short, I'll be putting the seed through a synchrotron(shoot lasers at it) to get an x-ray image of the seed and look at the seed structure. I'll also be digesting it in acid to get phytoliths (silica deposits).
I'm looking for 1-2 seeds from different individuals of Musa & Ensete. Knowing what species you have is important and please no hybrids.
Thanks for reading,
Molly
