One of the most important challenges for individual plants is coexistence with their
neighbors. To compensate for their sessile lifestyle, plants developed complex and …

Root tropisms are important responses of plants, allowing them to adapt their growth
direction. Research on plant tropisms is indispensable for future space programs that …

Can plants sense natural airborne sounds and respond to them rapidly? We show that
Oenothera drummondii flowers, exposed to playback sound of a flying bee or to synthetic …

Plants are not just passive living beings that exist in nature. They are complex and highly
adaptable species that react sensitively to environmental forces/stimuli with movement …

In recent years, the idea has flourished that plants emit and perceive sound and could even
be capable of exchanging information through the acoustic channel. While research into …

Compared with our cousins on the Tree of Life, humans are poor listeners. 1 Below the
lower end of human hearing lies deep infrasound: the realm of thunder and tornadoes …

In addition to positive effects on plant growth and resilience, sound alerts plants of potential
danger and aids in defense. Sound guides plants towards essential resources, like water …

Ecoacoustics—or acoustic ecology—aids in monitoring elusive and protected species in
several ecological contexts. For example, passive acoustic monitoring (PAM), which …

Sound is ubiquitous in nature. Recent evidence supports the notion that naturally occurring
and artificially generated sound waves contribute to plant robustness. New information is …

Hydrotropism is the movement or growth of a plant towards water. It is a type of tropism, or
directional growth response, that is triggered by water. Plants are able to detect water …
