Kind: research · Impact: low

## In brief

- Study combines 3D kinematic tracking, real-time volatile profiling, wavelet coherence and morphological analysis of climbing plants.
- In neighbouring pea plants, volatile features increase before peak circumnutation velocity, according to the source abstract.
- Authors are Bonato et al., published in Current Biology.

## Why it matters

It links airborne volatile emissions with movement changes in climbing plants responding to neighbours, offering a measurable temporal association for plant-plant signalling research.
