Seed which are able to withstand reduction in moisture and temperature are called

  • dormant seeds

  • recalcitrant seeds

  • orthodox seeds

  • non- viable seeds


C.

orthodox seeds

Orthodox seeds are the seeds that survive drying or freezing during ex- situ conservation. These are long- lived seeds and can be successfully dried to moisture contents.

A dormant seed is one that is unable to germinate in a specified period of time under a combination of environmental factors that are normally suitable for the germination of the non- dormant seed.

Recalcitrant seeds are seeds that do not survive drying and freezing during ex-situ conservation and vice versa.

Non- viable seeds are the seeds that do not germinate even if all the favourable conditions needed for germination are provided.
