Abstract
The perception that seeds had differences in their water content when disconnected from the mother plant, and consequently, variations in the period of maintenance of viability goes back to the beginning of agriculture, when people around the world started having to produce food as a result of population growth, ceasing to be exclusively extractive. Recalcitrant seeds do not tolerate desiccation and temperatures close to zero degrees, due to the lack of antioxidative mechanisms and maintenance of cellular compartments. Thus, this study aims to review the main concepts and techniques of drying and storage, usually used in so-called recalcitrant seeds.
