Detailed explanation-1: -Detailed Solution. The correct answer is cold and dry condition. The seeds can most suitably preserved in cold and dry condition. The length of time plant seeds remain viable for varies greatly depending on whether or not storage conditions are ideal and even on the species of seed stored.

Detailed explanation-2: -Store seeds in tightly sealed glass containers. You can store different kinds of seeds, each in individual paper packets, together in a large container. Keep seeds dry and cool. A temperature between 32° and 41°F is ideal, so your refrigerator can be a good place to store seeds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Seeds hold the power to regenerate species, promote biodiversity and enable ecosystems to adapt to an ever-changing world. These are primary reasons why it’s necessary to preserve the seed, and it is this need through which the concept of ‘seed bank’ emerged.

Detailed explanation-4: -If storing seeds for the long term (approximately up to 3 years) you will need to freeze them. When freezing, place the same-kind seeds into a ziplock bag and seal them tightly. Because you need to reduce the rate of aerobic respiration you must exclude all oxygen from the the container.

Detailed explanation-5: -Why are seeds stored? Seeds must be stored in a way which maintains their viability for long periods. Seeds left at ambient temperatures and relative humidities will lose their viability quickly whilst seeds stored in conditions of low moisture content and temperature will retain their viability for longer periods.
