    Abstract: A seed sampling system is provided having an automated seed loading assembly including a seed bin and being operable to singulate seeds from a plurality of seeds within the seed bin. The system also includes an automated seed sampling assembly operable to remove tissue samples from the singulated seeds, and an automated seed transport assembly operable to transfer the singulated seeds from the seed loading assembly to the seed sampling assembly. The seed transport assembly includes multiple retention members. Each of the retention members is movable relative to the seed loading assembly and to the seed sampling assembly. The seed transport assembly is operable to position one of the multiple retention members adjacent to the seed loading assembly for engaging one of the singulated seeds, while positioning another of the retention members adjacent to the seed sampling assembly for presenting another of the singulated seeds to the seed sampling assembly.

    Abstract translation: 提供种子采样系统,其具有包括种子仓的自动种子加载组件,并且可操作以从种子仓内的多个种子中分离种子。 该系统还包括可操作以从单个种子中去除组织样本的自动种子取样组件,以及可操作以将单种化种子从种子装载组件转移到种子采样组件的自动种子运输组件。 种子运输组件包括多个保持构件。 每个保持构件可相对于种子装载组件和种子取样组件移动。 种子运输组件可操作以将多个保持构件中的一个定位成与种子装载组件相邻以接合单个种子之一,同时将另一个保持构件定位成与种子取样组件相邻,以将另一个单个种子呈现到 种子采样总成。
