Seed Examination and Morphology Training

The video tutorial introduces the morphology of fruits and seeds, focusing on the characteristics of different plant families. Participants will learn to determine seed characteristics using a botanical key and engage in practical observations with microscopes. The workshop emphasizes the importance of repetition in learning and provides an agenda for the sessions. Due to equipment limitations, participants will work in groups, sharing microscopes. The tutorial aims to enhance understanding of seed characteristics and their variations across plant families.
