|---|---|---|---|
| A | Orthodox seed ऑर्थोडॉक्स बीज (रूढ़िवादी बीज) | I | Coffee कॉफी |
| B | Recalcitrant seed रिकैलसिट्रेंट बीज (अहठी बीज) | II | Chickpea चना |
| C | Impermeable seed coat अपारगम्य बीजावरण (कठोर बीज) | III | *Capsicum* शिमला मिर्च/मिर्च |
| D | Hypogeal germination अधोभूमिक अंकुरण | IV | Soybean (wild type) सोयाबीन - जंगली प्रकार |
Seed Physiology and Germination Types:
- Orthodox seed $\rightarrow$ (III). Capsicum: Solanaceous crops like chili/capsicum produce true orthodox seeds that can be desiccated to $\lt 5\%$ moisture content and safely stored at sub-zero temperatures.
- Recalcitrant / Intermediate seed $\rightarrow$ (I). Coffee: Coffee (Coffea arabica) seeds exhibit intermediate-to-recalcitrant behavior; they are sensitive to severe desiccation and freezing temperatures.
- Impermeable seed coat (Hardseededness) $\rightarrow$ (IV). Soybean (wild type): Wild legumes like Glycine soja exhibit physical seed coat dormancy due to suberized, waxy palisade epidermal layers impermeable to water.
- Hypogeal germination $\rightarrow$ (II). Chickpea: In chickpea (Cicer arietinum), the epicotyl elongates while the cotyledons remain underground (hypogeal germination).
Matching sequence: (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II).
Correct Answer: Option 3.
