| has gloss | eng: Recalcitrant seeds (sometimes known as unorthodox seeds) are seeds that do not survive drying and freezing during ex-situ conservation. Moreover, these seeds cannot resist the effects of drying or temperatures less than 10° C thus they cannot be stored for long periods like Orthodox seeds because they can lose their viability. Plants that produce recalcitrant seeds include avocado, mango, lychee, some horticultural trees, and several plants used in traditional medicine. |
