PLANT BIOACOUSTICS Plant bioacoustics: on the emission and reception of airborne sounds by plants, and their adaptive value.

Coordinator: TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY (IL)

The communication of plants with their environment is crucial for their survival. Plants are known to uselight, odours, and touch to communicate with other plants, with pollinators, seed dispersers and herbivores.However, one sensory modality acoustic communication is almost unexplored in plants, despite itspotential adaptive value. This is the focus of the current proposal.Our long-term goal is to understand the roles of acoustic communication in the life of plants: what plantshear, and what they say. The proposed research builds on recent results that strongly suggest the use ofairborne sou…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €2.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2023-06-01 to 2028-05-31.
