   Hydrotropism (hydro- "water"; tropism "involuntary orientation by an organism, that involves turning or curving as a positive or negative response to a stimulus") [1] is a plant's growth response in which the direction of growth is determined by a stimulus or gradient in water concentration.

4. Plant perception (physiology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_perception_(physiology)

   Plant perception is the ability of plants to sense and respond to the environment by adjusting their morphology and physiology. [1] Botanical research has revealed that plants are capable of reacting to a broad range of stimuli, including chemicals, gravity, light, moisture, infections, temperature, oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations, parasite infestation, disease, physical disruption ...

9. Plant bioacoustics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_bioacoustics

   A possible mechanism behind this is the activation of mechanoreceptors by sound waves, which causes a flux of Ca 2+ into the plant cell causing it to depolarize [11] Because of the specific frequencies produced by the pollinators’ wings, perhaps only a distinct amount of Ca 2+ enters the cell, which would ultimately determine the plant ...
