Sound vibration (SV), a mechanical stimulus, can trigger various molecular and physiological changes in plants like gene expression, hormonal modulation, induced antioxidant activity and calcium spiking. It also alters the seed germination and growth of plants. In this study, we investigated the effects of SV on the resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana against Botrytis cinerea infection. The microarray analysis was performed on infected Arabidopsis plants pre-exposed to SV of 1000 Hertz with 100 decibels. Broadly, the transcriptomic analysis revealed up-regulation of several defense and SA-responsive and/or signaling genes. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis of selected genes also validated the induction of SA-mediated response in the infected Arabidopsis plants pre-exposed to SV. Corroboratively, hormonal analysis identified the increased concentration of salicylic acid (SA) in the SV-treated plants after pathogen inoculation. In contrast, jasmonic acid (JA) level in the SV-treated plants remained stable but lower than control plants during the infection. Based on these findings, we propose that SV treatment invigorates the plant defense system by regulating the SA-mediated priming effect, consequently promoting the SV-induced resistance in Arabidopsis against B. cinerea.

“…The mechanism is not understood, though it has been noted that the exposure of seedlings and mature plants to green music (classical music and natural sounds such as those of birds, insects, water, etc.) elevates the level of polyamines and increases the uptake of oxygen in comparison with the controls [15]. Reports indicate that plants enjoy music, and they respond to the different types of music and their wave-length.…”

Abstract-Music influences the growth of plants and can either promote or restrict the growth of plants (depending on the type of music being played). The present experiment is aimed to study the effect of music on 30 Rose (Rosa chinensis) plants taken in separate pots. The plants were divided into five groups and each group was subjected to one of the following types of music, Indian Classical music, Vedic chants, Western Classical music, and Rock music while one group was kept in silence as the control group. The elongation of shoot, internode elongation, the number of flowers and the diameter of the flowers were recorded and changed studied over a period of 60 days. Significant differences have been noted.It was seen that the plants exposed to Vedic chants showed the maximum elongation of shoot, maximum number of flowers and highest diameter of flowers. The internode elongation was highest in plants exposed to Indian classical music. This clearly shows that the subjecting the plants to Vedic chants or Indian classical music promotes the growth of plants as compared to the control group or subjecting them to Western classical or Rock music.Index Terms-Diameter of flowers, internode length, rosa chinensis, shoot length, music. I. INTRODUCTIONSound is known to affect the growth of plants [1]. Studies have also shown that sound vibration can be used to stimulate a seed or plant [2]. Previous studies indicate that musical sound has a significant effect on the number of seeds sprouted compared to noise and untreated control and sound vibrations directly affect living biologic systems [1]. Foliage planted along freeways to reduce noise pollution often grows differently than foliage planter in a quiet environment [3], [4]. It would be advantageous for plants to learn about the surrounding environment using sound, as acoustic signals propagate rapidly and detection of sound may have adaptive value in plants [5]. Plants are complex multicellular organisms considered as sensitive as humans for initial assaying of effects and testing new therapies [6]- [8].Several studies have been undertaken to study and understand the influence of sound and music on plants and plant growth. It has been reported that under optimal stimulation conditions (100dB and 800Hz) the sound field can enhance the growth of Chrysanthemum callus and moderate stress stimulation can enhance the assimilation of tissues or cells, improve their physiological activity and accelerate the growth of plants [9]. Other studies show that under suitable sound stimulation, the growth of  Manuscript received December 17, 2013; revised February 20, 2014.

Playing appropriate tunes have been found to stimulate the plant's synthesis of its appropriate protein [11]. The rate of water transpired out of leaves is also reportedly affecte...

“…When plants were exposed to audio frequency, gene expression for peroxidase isoenzyme was activated, and caused the process of gene transcription and translation to change [28]. The exposure also increased the content of the plant's growth hormones such as indoleacetic acid (IAA) and polyamine compounds [29], thus stimulating the cell division and construction of vascular bundles, leaves and flower buds [30]. Other than that, the study by Qingwu et al [2] also confirmed that sound waves initiated a sensitive response of the photosynthetic process, increased endocrine levels in relevance with energy and metabolism, and changed the conformation of cell membranes.…”

Auditory stress has been known to affect the development of plants. Recent findings have shown that the stress produced by music induced a positive effect on plants growth. However, different types of music have different kinds of stimulation on plant development. The aim of this study was to examine the in vitro seed germination of two Grammatophyllum species when exposed to five different music genres. The Grammatophyllum species used were G. hybrid and G. stapeliiflorum while the music genres were Instrumental, Rock, Hip hop, Yassin (Quranic reciting) and Ballad. Green capsules of Grammatophyllum hybrid and Grammatophyllum stapeliiflorum were obtained from Triang Botanical Valley, Pahang, Malaysia. Each group of seed cultures were exposed to different music genre for 8 hours starting from 9 am until 5 pm, each for a 6 months period. Seed cultures were kept in the dark for the first 3 months. One untreated (no music) group was kept as a control. All cultures were maintained on half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) media supplemented with 30 g/L sucrose, 0.5 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), 2 g/L peptone, 1 g/L activated charcoal and 2.5 g/L gelrite. Observations were recorded every month for the number of shoots emerged and shoot length. Data was analysed by using a one-way ANOVA. At the end of the experiment, it was found that music exposure had a positive effect on the seeds' germination as compared to the untreated control group. For G. hybrid species, the highest shoots number counted was 19.33±3.79 which was observed on seeds exposed to Yassin. The highest shoot length measured was 2.02±1.10 cm when it was exposed to Rocks music. In contrast, G. stapeliiflorum species showed the highest number of shoots of 12.00±2.64 when exposed to Ballad and the highest shoot length achieved by this species was 0.99±0.38 cm when it was exposed to Instrumental music. Analysis by using Kruskal-Wallis H and one-way ANOVA showed that p < 0.05 for all parameters. The findings showed that different species of orchids need a different type of music to influence the rate of its germination and growth.
