Abstract: Low temperature damage is one of the natural disasters occur frequently in agricultural production, it not only affects the quality and yield of crops seriously, but also causes crops death in large areas. In this review, the author summarized the development of physiology research on cold tolerance in plants at home and abroad, including the low temperature stress on the chlorophyll content, MDA content, membrane stability, activities of protective enzyme and the content of osmotic adjustment substances, conducted an overview of proteomics applications to cold tolerance research, and suggested the new directions on future research on cold tolerance. The study could provide new insights into plant breeding against cold stress.
