| Summary: | Plant growth is considered the sum of cell proliferation and subsequent elongation of the cells. The continuous
proliferation and elongation of plant cells are vital to the production of new organs, which have a significant
impact on overall plant growth. Accordingly, the relationship between environmental stimuli, such as temperature,
light, wind, and sound waves to plant growth is of great interest in studies of plant development.
Sound waves can have negative or positive effects on plant growth. In this review paper we have summarized
the relationship between sound waves and plant growth response. Sound waves with specific frequencies
and intensities can have positive effects on various plant biological indices including seed germination, root
elongation, plant height, callus growth, cell cycling, signaling transduction systems, enzymatic and hormonal
activities, and gene expression. |
