Seeds of durian do contain storage proteins, and this is one of the first studies to explore storage protein deposition in this recalcitrant seed.
Recalcitrant seeds usually have no period of quiescence and germinate shortly after fruit abscission.
This school holds that recalcitrant problems in syntax and especially semantics should be given solutions found with the assistance of an independently motivated pragmatic theory.
