An automated seed sampler includes a sampling station, a sampler for removing material from a seed in the sampling station; a seed conveyer for conveying the seed from the sampling station to a compartment in a seed tray, and a conveyor for conveying the material removed from the seed to a corresponding compartment in a sample tray. And a method for bulking up a quantity of plant seed having a desired characteristic generally includes testing each seed for the desired characteristic, cultivating plants only from seeds which tested positive for the desired characteristic, recovering seed from the cultivated plants, and repeating the processes of testing, cultivating, and recovering seed for one or multiple generations.
