Abstract: Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) has important edible value, biological energy value, genetic value and ecological value in the tropical and subtropical regions, and has drawn attention from scholars both at home and abroad. Cassava has been used in the production of fuel ethanol in recent years and gradually become a kind of important biological energy sources, so the demand of cassava is growing. But the production practice shows that the main factor limiting cassava production is the low cold resistance of cultivated varieties. Exploring cassava gene related to cold resistance and breeding cold-resistant cassava germplasm resources is an essential way to improve cold resistance of cassava. In order to study cassava cold resistance more comprehensively, this paper summarized the domestic and foreign progress on cassava cold resistance and related traits gene mapping, explored genetic law of related traits of cold resistance genes, at the same time, it put forward the future study direction taking into account the situation in China, and provided the basis for future research on cold resistance of cassava.
