While plants require water, sunlight and the right temperature to grow, it is widely believed they do not have senses in the way animals do. When the researchers played recordings of flying bees to evening primrose flowers, within three minutes the sugar concentrations in the nectar (花蜜) of its flowers increased. The fluid, produced to attract pollinating (授粉) insects, was on average 20 percent higher in flowers exposed to the buzz pared to those left in silence or exposed to higher pitched sounds. Professor Lilach Hadany, who led the study, said: Our results document for the first time that plants can rapidly respond to pollinator sounds in an ecologically relevant way.
