Orthodox seeds

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Seeds are classified into two main categories based on their tolerance to desiccation and low temperature: Orthodox and Recalcitrant.Orthodox seeds are those that can be dried to low moisture content (around $5\%$) and stored at low temperatures for long periods without losing viability. Most agricultural crops, including cereals (like wheat, rice, maize) and legumes (like beans, peas, lentils), produce orthodox seeds.Recalcitrant seeds, on the other hand, are sensitive to desiccation and cannot be stored for long periods under dry conditions (e.g., mango, cocoa).Therefore, cereal and legume seeds are classified as orthodox seeds.
