Wait, what, plants can hear the sound of rain?
Groundbreaking MIT research reveals plants can sense rain. Experiments with rice seeds showed that the sound of falling water droplets significantly accelerated germination, by 30-40%. This suggests seeds utilize mechanisms similar to gravity sensing to perceive beneficial moisture levels, offering new insights into plant survival.
