ABSTRAK In general seeds of some species remain viable for a long period when the moisture content and the storage temperature are low. However, some species produce seeds which deteriorate at low temperatures and moisture content. Those seeds are commonly called recalcitrant i.e. cocoa, rubber, palm oil, mango, rambutan and Citrus seeds. Some of the problems of recalcitrant seeds during storage are reviewed. Due to the short life of the seeds, investigations are needed to prolong seed viability in storage. Suggestions are made for future research which is necessary for genetic conservation. Abstrak Pada umumnya biji beberapa jenis tanaman viabilitasnya tetap tinggi, apabila disimpan pada suhu dan kadar air yang rendah. Akan tetapi ada pule biji tanaman yang viabilitasnya cepat turun pada keadaan yang telah disebutkan di atas. Biji-biji demikian ini digolongkan biji yang rekalsitran seperti biji coldat, karat, kelapa sawit, mangga. rambutan dan jenis-jenis Citrus. Umur pendek biji rekalsitran menuntut adanva penelitian yang lebih cermat untuk penyimpanan dalim jangka panjang. Beberapa saran untuk penelitian yang akan datang dikemukakan terutama guna pelestarian plasma nutfah. Key Words:Biji tanaman, biji rekalsitran, penyimpanan, plasma nutfah
