ABSTRACT:
A seedlike substance making apparatus is provided which overcomes the problems experienced with conventional apparatuses that artificial seeds cannot be dispersed uniformly in a gelling agent, and which makes it possible to arbitrarily set the number of enclosures, such as adventive embryos, and the size of gelled coating. The apparatus comprises a coating material delivery mechanism (C), an enclosure supply mechanism (D) and a tip positioning mechanism (B). The coating material delivery mechanism (C) forms a film of coating material by opening and closing the nozzle plunger (8). The enclosure supply mechanism (D) has a vertically movable supply rod (29) at the bottom of the enclosure container (25) that contains a culture liquid in which the enclosures are immersed. The tip positioning mechanism (B) comprises a rotary plate (18), which is provided with a plurality of air cylinders (19). The piston rod (19a) of each air cylinder (19) is attached with an enclosure suction tip (21), which is connected through a selector valve (52) to the air pressure source (1) and negative pressure source by a pipe.
