Under the background of global climate warming, the potential danger of cold injury to wheat is increas-ing, so that to improve the cold resistance of wheat is very essential in agriculture production. Recently agriculturalresearchers developed many studies on physiological mechanism and regulatory measures of cold resistance inwheat and obtained certain achievement. The recent results of relation mechanism among membrane stability, anti-oxidant enzyme system, osmotic adjustment substance, and water metabolism with cold resistance, as well as the ef-fects of plant growth regulators on cold resistance in wheat were summarized and evaluated in the paper, which wasconducive to carry out more systematical and deep research work in this field for the future.
