Cold stress is a major abiotic stress factor during plant growth and it is also one of the main factors affecting the production of crop.In recent years,studies on cold tolerance of plants have shown that there is a complex signal network responding to low temperature stress in plant.Many related genes were reported in this genetic regulatory network system.Not only plant hormones are involved in the response,but also the gene transcription,even the posttranscriptional gene regulation.In this paper,recent advances on cold-resistant gene are regulated of plants are highlighted.
