A method and computer program product for distinguishing and sort seeds c ontaining a genetic element of interest from a bulk sample. In various embod iment s. The present invention comprises associating a marker with at least some of the seeds containing a genetic element of interest of the bulk sampl e, exciting the seeds using an electromagnetic energy emitting device, evalu ating at least some of the seeds of the bulk sample for the presence or abse nce of the marker using an evaluating device configured to excite a majority of the surface area of the seeds, and sorting the seeds containing a geneti c element of interest based on the presence or absence of the marker. In oth er embodiments, the method and computer program product may comprise associa ting a red fluorescent protein marker with at least some of the seeds contai ning a genetic element of interest of the bulk sample, evaluating at least s ome of the seeds of the bulk sample for the presence of the red fluorescent protein marker using an evaluating device, and sorting the seeds containing a genetic element of interest based on the presence of the red fluorescent p rotein marker. |
