You can store citrus seed in the fridge in a plastic bag with fungicide for many months.

The bud wood you are receiving is mature 10 year old bud wood, and it will "remember" that it is 10 years old and that it is mature. Therefore, when you graft the budwood onto your 5 year old tree, the bud wood will still be mature and 10 years old, and could flower and fruit on the next flush later this summer. This is assuming that your grafts are successful. - Millet

I would guess your rootstock are grapefruit or possibly tangelo.
Are the seed from store bought fruit?, that would narrow it down a bit.
If they are GF, possibly other grapefruit, pummelo or tangelo would be good choices re compatability.
