Abstract: Palmae plant is one of the most important families in tropical regions of the world, with high ornamental and economic value. Low temperature and drought are the main factors limiting growth and cultivation area of palm plants. The physiological and biochemical changes in plants can directly reflect the cold and drought resistance strength. We reviewed the physiology and biochemistry research progress on cold and drought resistance of palm plants, analyzed their variation law, proposed methods to improve the cold and drought resistance of palm plants, and made prospects on the future research direction. Finally, we provided the reference for further study on cold and drought resistance mechanism of palm plants and improving the cold and drought resistance of palm plants.
