Seven volatile-associated m/z features in Pisum sativum show transient increases before peak circumnutation velocity only when conspecific neighbors are present.
- Why it matters: Neighbor plants can modulate exploratory circumnutation before contact, but the temporal relationship between volatile signaling and movement has been unclear.
- What they did: The study combined three-dimensional kinematic tracking with real-time volatilomic profiling in Pisum sativum, then used wavelet coherence to compare coordination in real versus randomly paired neighbors.
- The result: Neighbor presence increased apex velocity, acceleration, path length, explored area, and produced stronger temporal coordination in real neighboring pairs, supporting a coordinated volatile–movement link.
