“Recalcitrant” is also used to describe a seed that is difficult to germinate, which happens when seeds lack embryos (that is, “empty” seeds), have fastidious germination requirements (that is, dormant …

Recalcitrant seeds are metabolically active and desiccation sensitive, lacking or not expressing the protective mechanisms (discussed) associated with the acquisition of desiccation tolerance that …

Orthodox and recalcitrant seeds represent opposite ends of a spectrum in terms of their tolerance to desiccation and low temperatures. Orthodox seeds, often described as “well-behaved,” can …

Recalcitrant seeds are difficult to be successfully stored and their ex-situ conservation is problematic. It is because of their high moisture content that encourages microbial contamination and results in …

Recalcitrant seeds have a much higher moisture content than do orthodox seeds at physiological maturity. They do not tolerate cold temperatures or loss of moisture content.

Feb 24, 2023 · Recalcitrant seeds lose viability after drying. Species that have recalcitrant seeds include temperate species like maple, elm and oak, tropical species like citrus and coffee and aquatic …

Aug 10, 2023 · The aim of this review was to explore and discuss how omics analyses can assist in elucidating molecular responses and metabolic changes of recalcitrant seed species.

Recalcitrant seeds are distinguished by their high moisture content at maturity, typically ranging from 30% to 70% on a fresh weight basis, which reflects their hydrated state upon shedding from the …

Feb 22, 2013 · These seeds are called recalcitrant because they die rapidly when treated under the same genebanking conditions used to store orthodox seeds. Recalcitrant seeds, like most living …
