With the deepening of studies of mechanism of chilling injury of plants,cold resistance,and molecular mechanism of cold acclimation,it has been found that there are a variety of cold resistant genes,including various cold regulation and functional genes.So,research and application of cold resistant genetic engineering of plants have been extensively developed,and eventually the cold resistance of crops and agricultural production was increased.Progress in studies on cold resistant genetic engineering of plants at home and abroad was comprehensively reviewed in the paper.Some problems and its prospects were put forward.
