La germination d'une graine n'est possible que si l'embryon n'est pas en état de dormance et notamment si certaines conditions d'environnement sont respectées (d'humidité et de température notamment). Avant de germer, la graine doit absorber l'eau du milieu externe par l'intermédiaire de ses colloïdes hydrophiles (imbibition); son volume peut alors augmenter considérablement. 2, record 4, French, - germination
