Seed storage can be challenging given the inherent nature of seeds. Orthodox seeds can survive desiccation to 3–7% moisture content and temperatures as low as −20 °C for an indefinite period (Hay et al., 2000). Recalcitrant or unorthodox seeds cannot germinate when desiccated below 20–40% moisture content (Hay et al., 2000). Still other seeds have intermediate storage characteristics and can be dried to 12–14% moisture content, but cannot be stored cold upon desiccation (Hay et al., 2000 and Bonner, 2008). While unorthodox storage characteristics in aquatic seeds is common, orthodoxy may be more frequent than previously thought (Hay et al., 2000).
