Abstract

Sound has been established to play an essential role in plant growth. Sound of a particular frequency has been proven to increase yield and immunity. In this study, we have considered the possibility of functional Optical Coherence Tomography (fOCT) in investigating the changes in the internal structures in response to sounds of different frequencies, 100 Hz and 10kHz. Results showed a clear dependence of the fOCT signal on the sound frequency, with 100 Hz showing an increase while 10kHz showing a decrease. Our results extend the possibility of the application of OCT to the field of plant photonics.
