Effect of low temperature stress on crop plants: A review

Abstract

Plants are exposed to a variety of abiotic stresses in the field, all of which are detrimental to plant growth and output. Plants' morphological, physiological, and molecular responses can be altered by the freezing conditions as a result of extreme and rapid global climate change. Despite the major advances, there is still a lot of space for development in terms of freezing tolerance. As a result, future research should focus on biotechnological and molecular approaches to generate genetically altered plants with improved tolerance.
