Summary Plants have evolved sophisticated defense mechanisms to overcome their sessile nature. However, if and how volatiles from cold‐stressed plants can trigger interplant communication is still unknown. Here, we provide the first evidence for via inducible in cold stress. The volatiles, including nerolidol, geraniol, linalool, methyl salicylate, emitted tea play key role(s) priming tolerance of neighbors a C‐repeat‐binding factors‐dependent pathway. knowledge will help us understand respond volatile cues stress agricultural ecosystems.
