Molecular Mechanism of ICE-CBF-COR-mediated Cold Tolerance Regulation in Plants Under Cold Stress: A Review

doi:10.11924/j.issn.1000-6850.casb2024-0427

Abstract

Abstract:

Cold stress directly affects plant growth and development, and under extreme conditions, it may result in infertility or even lead to plant mortality. To investigate the molecular mechanisms by which plants respond to cold stress, this review synthesizes the diverse effects of cold stress on plants. It discusses the impact of cold stress on plant plasma membranes, the ICE-CBF-COR signaling pathway, plant hormones, and cellular metabolism. Additionally, recent advancements in understanding the mechanisms underlying plant cold tolerance are examined and discussed. This review aims to provide a foundation for the practical application of these findings in the genetic improvement of crops. Based on the above, the paper suggests that a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating genetic engineering, genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, and bioinformatics should be employed to further explore the molecular mechanisms behind plant cold tolerance. Furthermore, potential future research directions in this field are proposed.

Key words: molecular mechanism, cold stress, ICE-CBF-COR, gibberellin, cytoplasmic membrane, abscisic acid
