J'ai vu ce joli build, nouveau , ancien je ne sais pas ça fait longtemps que j'étais pas passée là bas :-)
Embryos can be tested, but eggs can't. Freezing of embryos, meanwhile, is proving to be an effective technique for helping to ensure a successful pregnancy in some of the thousands of women who undergo standard in vitro fertilization every year.

The development of the embryos is stoped at this stage and it need a cold period before it can continue his development (diapause). The eye pigmentation is restricted to the posterior part of the eyes.

Germinating seed of Euonymus cornutus with unusual double embryo. Double embryos are met very infrequently, in a variety of species, by seed bank workers. Usually however the "twins" lay alongside each other. Having embryos at polar opposites is very peculiar.
Dr Wolfgang Stuppy comments: Very interesting indeed!
Multi-embryo seeds are encountered in Viscaceae but are the product of several developing seeds melting into each other, as far as I know.
True polyembryony is however common in Citrus spp.
Apomictic plant species may produce somatic embryos from cells of the nucellus and those may indeed develop contrapolar.

Among the most revered books of the Jains, the Kalpasutra is attributed to Acharya Bhadrabahu who lived during the fourth century B.C. Written in prose, the work consists of three parts: an account of the lives of the twenty-four Tirthankaras (the twenty-four founders of the Jain religion), the succession lists of Jain leaders, and the code of conduct for monks and nuns during the rainy season. The custom of congregational recitation of the Kalpasutra began in the fifth century and has continued to this day, necessitating the availability of many copies. As a result, the it is the most reproduced Jain text and one that has been preseved in large numbers in Jain bhandars or libraries.The earliest Jain manuscripts are on palm leaves in the horizontal format dictated by the material. When paper was adopted, the horizontal format was kept, but the manuscripts remained unbound and were kept in wooden covers. Where the holes for string would have been decorative bosses were painted.The copy from which these two leaves come was dispersed before being properly catalogued and the colophon has
not been completely documented. What is left of the colophon says that the manuscript was prepared at the request of Sana and Jutha, who lived at the port of Gandhar near Broach at the mouth of the Narmada River. The text is Sanskrit in Nagari script. The story is of the last Tirthankara, Mahavira. One painting is of Indra in his heaven. On the folio with text Harinegameshi, the commander of Indra's army, is returning from a mission to bring to Indra the embryo of Mahavira from the womb of the woman who conceived him. Harinegameshi's next assignment will be to exchange this embryo with one growing in another woman, so that Mahavira will be born of a woman of the warrior Kshatriya caste.

Domains of Wonder
The story of the birth of Jainism's founder, Mahavira, is related in this elaborately ornamented text. The king of the gods, entertained by a throng of celestial dancers, sends his goat-headed commander to transfer the embryo of Mahavira from the womb of a Brahmin lady to the womb of a queen.
After the introduction of paper, Jain texts continued to be produced following the horizontal format imposed by traditional use of palm leaf. Donors of the more expensive manuscripts received greater spiritual merit than those who give less profusely illustrated versions.
