- This $673,488 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) aims to uncover the physical and molecular mechanisms that allow plants to detect and respond to sound. The principal investigator at Auburn University proposes that the plant cell wall acts as a filter, vibrating at specific frequencies, and transmitting these vibrations via structures called Hechtian strands to the cell's interior. This process could...
