Cold is an important environmental factor limiting plant growth and development. Recent studies have revealed the complex regulatory networks associated with plant responses to cold and identified their interconnections with signaling pathways related to light, the circadian clock, plant hormones, and pathogen defense. In this article, we review recent advances in understanding the molecular basis of cold perception and signal transduction pathways. We also summarize recent developments in the study of cold-responsive growth and flowering. Finally, we propose future directions for the study of long-term cold sensing, RNA secondary structures in response to cold, and the development of cold-tolerant and high-yield crops.
