Cold signal transduction in plants VI. Conclusions and perspectives Acknowledgements References SUMMARY: Cold stress is a major environmental factor that seriously affects plant growth and development, and influences crop productivity. Plants have evolved a series of mechanisms that allow them to adapt to cold stress at both the physiological and molecular levels. Over the past two decades, much progress has been made in identifying crucial components involved in cold-stress tolerance and dissecting their regulatory…
