Many Studies indicated the effect of environmental factors stress such as heavy elements, harmful radiation, acid rain, salt etc. on the plants, but noise stress in plants has rarely studied. Audible sound wave technology has recently been applied to plants at various physiological growth stages e.g. seed germination, callus growth, endogenous hormones and mechanism of photosynthesis and transcription of certain genes. The aim of this research was survey effects of sound waves caused by railway transport on anatomic structures of Centaurea cyanus (Centaurea hyalolepis Boiss) and Marian thistle (Silybum marianum L.). Free hand sections were taken and stained in carmine and methyl blue. Thin cut sections were observed under the research microscope (Olympus) fitted with digital camera and attached with computer. The evaluation of cross-sectional, anatomy of plant tissue was done through taking micro-photographs. Our results indicated that remarkable changes has been seen in the anatomic structure of stem treatment plant in comparison with control plants such as increasing the chromaticity of cambium layers, enhancing the thickness of the sclerenchyma bundle sheath in the xylem tissues and improving the collenchymas layer of hypodermis. The sound waves of railway transport may increase of diameter and number of cell stability tissues (Sclerenchyma, collenchyma) stem of plant. Anatomical structure of plants, under the influence of the sound waves and noise pollution caused by rail transportation as an environmental stress changes fitted plants tissues.
