New research reveals that water sounds not only help humans relax and sleep better but also stimulate faster plant germination. MIT-led experiments found rice seeds exposed to simulated rainfall ...
MIT demonstrates that seeds sense the sound of rainfall—and sprout faster even while still beneath the surface.
MIT researchers have discovered that rice seeds can detect the sound of falling rain, using vibrations to accelerate germination by 30% to 40%. The sound waves jostle tiny gravity-sensing organelles ...
