On 1/19/16, the licensee discovered the number of seeds in storage did not match the number recorded. After the licensee conducted an investigation, they believe the seed was lost when it was transferred from the vial, pathology puts them in, to the Cidex storage/decontamination vial. The seeds in the vial had been placed there between 12/21/15 and 1/18/16.
