Yes. Tried this experiment and the plants in the dark germinate and grew faster than the plants in the sunlight. But, if you leave it in the dark for too long, its leaves would turn yellow from the lack of chlorophyll and the plants would eventually die. (I tried with green bean plants, so not sure if other plants can) By the way, you will have to make sure that the plants in the dark have enough air and water, if not it will probably die before germinating.
