These results allow the four species to be classified as recalcitrant seed species.
This meant imposing bureaucratic standards of rationality and accountability on recalcitrant professors, academic senates, and rectors.
These discussions have had significant impacts on our views about the phenomena of desiccation tolerance and sensitivity, and the physiology of recalcitrant seeds.
The constraint may function as a default setting, remaining in force only as long as the environment is not too recalcitrant.
Some temperate recalcitrant seeds are shed in spring and become established seedlings during summer.
Due to their sensitivity to desiccation and/or low temperatures, recalcitrant and intermediate seeds are reputed to have a relatively short life span.
They showed fictionalised encounters between a range of recalcitrant youths and the authorities.
Recalcitrant seeds cannot survive desiccation to the range of water contents where the longevity of orthodox seeds increases with decreasing water content.
