Abstract
Pea plants are an ideal crop to perform experiments relating to seed relcalcitrance and orthodoxy, because they are a stable source of nutrients in many communities. However, like with pineapple, strawberry and even calabash plants, there are several challenges that arise with Pisumsativum. The present contribution aims to widen our understanding of seed recalcitrance in pea crops. In this article, the causes, consequences and solutions to various issues pertaining to seed recalcitrance in Pisumsativum will be discussed. In addition, mentioned will be made on storage conditions ideal to pea crops and that are contrasting to orthodox seed behaviour.
