By analysing the emissions of VOCs and samples of plant tissues (e.g. stem, tendrils, roots etc.) at specific points in time as identified via online kinematical analysis (e.g., maximum peak velocity, time at which the tendrils assume the choreography needed to grasp the potential support etc.) we will gain untargeted transcriptomic and metabolomic profiles characterizing the main signalling pathways and controlling the observed behaviours as to identify the crucial elements underpinning the mechanics of social habitus of plants depending on the degree of kinship with their neighbours. 

Identification of hormonal biosynthesis or perception changes and novel signalling pathways will give us a glimpse into the role of hormones and further known and unknown potential players in the determination of the intentional component underlying plants’ movement.
