Can plants hear?
Flora may be able to detect the sounds of flowing water or munching insects
Pseudoscientific claims that music helps plants grow have been made for decades, despite evidence that is shaky at best. Yet new research suggests some flora may be capable of sensing sounds, such as the gurgle of water through a pipe or the buzzing of insects.
In a recent study, Monica Gagliano, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Western Australia, and her colleagues placed pea seedlings in pots shaped like an upside-down Y. One arm of each pot was placed in either a tray of water or a coiled plastic tube through which water flowed; the other arm had dry soil. The roots grew toward the arm of the pipe with the fluid, regardless of whether it was easily accessible or hidden inside the tubing. “They just knew the water was there, even if the only thing to detect was the sound of it flowing inside the pipe,” Gagliano says. Yet when the seedlings were given a choice between the water tube and some moistened soil, their roots favored the latter. She hypothesizes that these plants use sound waves to detect water at a distance but follow moisture gradients to home in on their target when it is closer.
The research, reported earlier this year in Oecologia, is not the first to suggest flora can detect and interpret sounds. A 2014 study showed the rock cress Arabidopsis can distinguish between caterpillar chewing sounds and wind vibrations – the plant produced more chemical toxins after “hearing” a recording of feeding insects. “We tend to underestimate plants because their responses are usually less visible to us. But leaves turn out to be extremely sensitive vibration detectors,” says lead study author Heidi M. Appel, an environmental scientist now at the University of Toledo.

........ our first year in New York, we rented a
small apartment with a Catholic school nearby,
taught by the Sisters of Charity, hefty women in
long black gowns and bonnets that made them
[5] look peculiar, like dolls in mourning. I liked them
a lot, especially my grandmotherly fourth grade
teacher, Sister Zoe. I had a lovely name, she
said, and she had me teach the whole class how
to pronounce it. Yo-lan-da. As the only
[10] immigrant in my class, I was put in a special
seat in the first row by the window, apart from
the other children so that Sister Zoe could tutor
me without disturbing them. Slowly, she
enunciated the new words I was to repeat:
[15] laundromat, cornflakes, subway, snow.
Soon I picked up enough English to understand
holocaust was in the air. Sister Zoe explained to
a wide-eyed classroom what was happening in
Cuba. Russian missiles were being assembled,
[20] trained supposedly on New York City. President
Kennedy, looking worried too, was on the
television at home, explaining we might have to
go to war against the Communists. At school,
we had air raid drills: an ominous bell would go
[25] off and we'd file into the hall, fall to the floor,
cover our heads with our coats, and imagine our
hair falling out, the bonnets in our arms going
soft. At home, Mami and my sisters and I said a
rosary for world peace. I heard new vocabulary:
[30] nuclear bomb,radioactive fallout, bomb shelter.
Sister Zoe explained how it would happen. She
drew a picture of a mushroom on the
blackboard and dotted a flurry of chalk marks
for the dusty fallout that would kill us all.
[35] The months grew cold, November, December.
It was dark when I got up in the morning, frosty
when I followed my breath to school. One
morning as I sat at my desk daydreaming out
the window, I saw dots in the air like the ones
[40] Sister Zoe had drawn random at first, then lots
and lots. I shrieked, "Bomb! Bomb!" Sister Zoe
jerked around, her full black skirt ballooning as
she hurried to my side. A few girls began to cry.
[45] But then Sister Zoe's shocked look faded. "Why,
Yolanda dear, that's snow!" She laughed.
"Snow."
"Snow," I repeated. I looked out the window
[50] warily. All my life I had heard about the white
crystals that fell out of American skies in the
winter. From my desk I watched the fine powder
dust the sidewalk and parked cars below. Each
flake was different, Sister Zoe had said, like a
[55] person, irreplaceable and beautiful.
