Recalcitrant seeds are seeds that do not tolerate desiccation and cannot withstand drying out; they typically require specific moisture levels to remain viable. These seeds often come from tropical and subtropical plants, and they generally have a short lifespan, requiring immediate germination or storage under controlled conditions. Examples include seeds from species like mangroves and some fruits, which need to be kept moist to promote germination. Their sensitivity to drying makes them challenging to store and propagate compared to orthodox seeds.
