| Some weeds, such as chickweed, common groundsel, and bittercress, may germinate and grow at almost any time of year. |
| Not all viable seeds produced in natural plant populations germinate in the season following their production. |
| The teliospores borne in these telia germinate to produce a basidium, which in turn produces basidiospores. |
| Under these conditions, the overwintering resting spores germinate and can infect plants directly or through the production of zoospores. |
| Wildflower seed does not always germinate reliably and uniformly, and weedy plants can be a problem in newly seeded areas. |
| Their degradation happens only after a long period of rest when seeds germinate and seedlings start to grow. |
