germinate

More than 80% of the spores endured the full trip, and all but 11% of those survivors successfully germinated in the laboratory.

Once the grains germinated in a laboratory, the seedlings were planted in water in June, and harvesting began in early October.

Deadwood-decomposing fungi feed germinating orchids, providing the carbon their tiny seeds don't have.

And getting certification is a rigorous, costly process, as seeds need to be tested in a laboratory for their purity and things like how well they germinate.

The problem is, when you remove 6 inches of soil from a yard, you’re likely removing some or all of the top soil, where plants germinate and get the nutrients they need to grow.
