Abstract
The present invention relates to a viability-retaining method of selecting corn embryos having a desired trait, said method comprising extracting embryos, removing associated non-embryogenic tissue or DNA from the exterior of the embryo; and extracting DNA directly from the embryo. The invention surprisingly shows that germinating embryos sampled directly for their DNA content are capable of continuing the germination process to form normal seedlings.
