“…So far, there is not much known about sound perception in plants, though sound emission from plants were reported to be 50–120 Hz and 20–100 kHz [ 33 ]. Increasing number of evidences indicated a variety of biological significances of sound in plants [ 6 ]. For example, plants “heard” the noise of underground water flowing and directed its root growth to reach out water sources [ 6 , 34 ].…”

“…Increasing number of evidences indicated a variety of biological significances of sound in plants [ 6 ]. For example, plants “heard” the noise of underground water flowing and directed its root growth to reach out water sources [ 6 , 34 ]. Plants “heard” the move of pollinator via flowers and responded with sweetening the nectar [ 35 , 36 ], which might be a co-evolution strategy between pollinators and flowering plants for mutual benefits.…”

“…According to human perception, sound is classified into three categories: sonic or audible or ordinary in the range of 20 Hz-20 kHz, infrasonic (< 20 Hz) and ultrasonic (> 20 kHz). There are three ways plants perceive sound: direct touch or vibration, soil- or water-borne medium, air-borne medium [ 5 , 6 ].…”

Sound vibration is one of natural stimuli trigging physiological changes in plants. Recent studies showed that sound waves stimulated production of a variety of plant secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, in order to enhance seed germination, flowering, growth or defense. In this review, we examine the potential role of sound stimulation on the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and the followed cascade of physiological changes in plants, from the perspective of transcriptional regulation and epigenetic regulation for the first time. A systematic summary showed that a wide range of factors may regulate the production of secondary metabolites, including plant species, growth stage, sound types, sound frequency, sound intensity level and exposure time, etc. Biochemical and physiological changes due to sound stimulation were thoroughly summarized as well, for secondary metabolites can also act as a free radical scavenger, or a hormone signaling molecule. We also discussed the limits of previous studies, and the future application of sound waves in biosynthesis of plant secondary metabolites.

“…Despite the overlap between insect hearing and noise pollution frequencies, we remain almost entirely unsure of noise effects on invertebrates, the largest group of pollinators, as studies on noise pollution rarely focus on invertebrates (Kunc & Schmidt, 2019 ; Shannon et al, 2016 ), which encompass the largest group of pollinators. Noise is also known to affect plants and can alter physiology, behavior, and gene expression (Bhandawat & Jayaswall, 2022 ), but whether impacts extend to plant reproduction is unknown.…”

“…Plants also respond to sound waves of external origin ( Gagliano et al 2017 ; Liu et al 2017 ; Bhandawat and Jayaswall 2022 ; Del Stabile et al 2022 ). It is probable that external sounds can be transduced into internal vibrations wherever they impact, but small plant structures such as trichomes may be adapted to resonate with specific frequencies of external sound transduction and communicate these vibrational signals through their points of attachment ( Liu et al 2017 ; Yin et al 2021 ).…”

Forces on and in the cell walls of living plants

Environmental influences and differential growth subject plants to mechanical forces. Forces on the whole plant resolve into tensile forces on its primary cell walls and both tensile and compression forces on the secondary cell-wall layers of woody tissues. Forces on cell walls are further resolved into forces on cellulose microfibrils and on the non-cellulosic polymers between them. Many external forces on plants oscillate, with time constants that vary from seconds to milliseconds. Sound waves are a high-frequency example. Forces on the cell wall lead to responses that direct the oriented deposition of cellulose microfibrils and the patterned expansion of the cell wall, leading to complex cell and tissue morphology. Recent experiments have established many of the details of which cell-wall polymers associate with one another in both primary and secondary cell walls, but questions remain about which of the interconnections are load-bearing, especially in primary cell walls. Direct cellulose-cellulose interactions appear to have a more important mechanical role than was previously thought, and some of the non-cellulosic polymers may have a role in keeping microfibrils apart rather than cross-linking them as formerly envisaged.
