TKSST • seethis.tv 🌈🪐✨🌱🌧️ #MIT engineers Nicholas Makris and Cadine Navarro found that the sound of #rain triggers #rice #seeds to sprout 30-40% faster. These sound vibrations dislodge gravity-sensing organelles called statoliths to signal the plant to start growing.

Plants can sense the sound of rain, new study finds
The next time you find yourself lulled by the patter of rain outside your window, think how that same sprinkle might sound if you were a tiny seed planted directly below a free-falling droplet. Would you still be similarly soothed? In fact, MIT engineers have found the opposite to be the case: Some seeds may come alive to the sound of rain. In experiments with rice seeds, the team found that the sound of falling droplets effectively shook the seeds out of a dormant state, stimulating them to germinate at a faster rate compared with seeds that were not exposed to the same sound vibrations.
💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🍀🧬 Only about one in 5,000 #clovers has four #leaves. Why are they so hard to find?
Esther Ikoro explains how biological variation and factors like #soil, #air, #temperature, or even nibbling #insects determine if a seed grows in unexpected ways. She also shares a visual trick you can use to find them in a clover patch.

L'enfant force son drapeau de toile entre les dents acérées,
Dans la gueule du fer calciné, l'odeur âcre et lente.
Ce jour, elle plante un étendard vert, geste qui persiste,
Au cœur de la crevasse noire, une semence ardente.
L'acier froid qui mordait tout l'horizon de ses flancs
Cède à cette poussée – têtue et volontaire.
Une tige de ciel perce ce lieu béant, victoire minuscule,
Et ce seul geste défait l'hiver du militaire.
Douglas MeadowfoamIn fall of 2022, on a lark, I spread a packet of borage seed in what was to become the front yard #meadow. Nothing came of it -- probably for the best, I thought, they aren't native. Now, three years later, a whole bunch of seedlings have appeared, among them three crinkly leaved critters below.
