Time between root appearence and leaf appearence

Hi :)

I'd like to ask : how long can it take between palm seeds' germination and the time first leaf appears? I have a number of seeds that have germinated some 2 weeks ago and I'm curious about when to expect the first leaves pop out. Species include sabal causiarum, euterpe edulis, bangalow palm and arenga engleri.

Also : how does a seed infected by fungus look like?

Thanks to all..

im growing several thousand trachycarpus seeds, some took 2 months between roots and leaves, others are popping up quickly now as it gets warmer, some still dont have leaves but have 3" long roots. my seed was from last year and the previous year, the older seeds dont seem to grow as quickly as the fresh seed, but they are still growing. not sure as to the fungus as I havent noticed any on mine ...
